Where we saw the Iris Crostata, Jacob's Ladder, Bloodroot, Solidago caesia, Sessile Leaf Bellwort, Oakleaf Hydrangea, Ohio Spiderwort, Wild Columbine, Purple Phacelia & others.
The grandchildren listen patiently as Mr. Rose told them about all the wildflowers.
We left the garden and went deeper into the woods to see more wildflowers.
The grandkids love walking in the woods. I am sure some of the information stayed in their heads.

We stopped at Domino for a pizza and we took the pizza to Deibert Park.
After we finished eating we walked the trail where we could learn more about our environment. We stopped at the pond to watch the turtles pop their heads up out of the water.

We walked deeper into the woods where we saw signs that listed the different creatures, plants, and trees that we might see.
Some of the signs that we saw were: muskrat, loblolly pine, Rufous-sided Towhee, Caroline Wren, ticks, Great Blue Heron, black cherry tree, dogwood tree, bluebirds, sweet pepper bush, cardinal, gray squirrel, and many others.
The grandkids discovered some of the metal art that was displayed in the park, to bring a bit of culture into the park.

The grandkids enjoyed playing on the train, monkey bars, swings, horses, tire swing, and seesaw.
We stopped at my dad's to wish him a Happy Birthday. It had been a full day for all of us.
