2010~Saturday March 27, Birding Trails, Wild Flowers, Water Fall & Deibert Park with grandkids


On this beautiful, brisk Saturday morning at 10:00 A.M., I took three of my grandkids on a wildflower hike with the Fresh Air Hiking Group.
We saw many different flowers planted in the wildflower beds on the TVA trail.
We left the wildflower garden and went off the beaten path into the woods to see the wildflowers.
Many of the walkers had walking sticks, so Nevada found one for him. Even though the day was a bit cool, we were soon removing our long sleeves and tying them around our waists.

We thanked our guide, loaded into the car, and rode the next TVA trail that was near the TVA DAM.
There are always many species of birds on or around the Tennessee River, and we saw various birds, fishermen, and a waterfall. Kids at this age are like the Ever-Ready battery; they can go for miles.
I parked the car, and we walked to the waterfall where the kids had to put their hands in the water.

For lunch, I ordered a Pizza from Domino's, and we took it to Deibert Park to eat.
After we finished the pizza, we went on another adventure in the park.
We stopped to feed the fish the bread crumbs from the pizza. We saw turtles sunning along the bank of the ponds, so we stopped to watch.

We stopped to read some of the signs on the walking trail that tell about the different types of trees, birds, & flowers. Deibert Park is a great place to walk. In the fall, the trees are multi-colored; in the winter, you can still see the evergreens; and in the spring, the park is bubbling with flowers and newborn birds. It is full of activity.

Today is my dad's birthday, so we stopped for a visit.


After a full day of fun with the grandkids, I took the boys home, and Sierra spent the night.
