Wonders of Nature // Bull Creek
















We spent the better part of the day exploring Bull Creek today. We had so much fun! We really didn't want to leave, but it was on the cusp of 100 degrees, we were soaking wet, and Hudson's diaper was about to explode...next time we will bring swimming suits and a swim diaper ;) 

We started out hiking around a few of the trails. Sawyer even brought his binoculars and packed his own little backpack today - he set out his "explorer" outfit last night before going to bed. It makes me smile, knowing my kids look forward to our Adventure Day as much as I do. We found a shady place along the creek to eat lunch - of course, Hudson tried to eat every rock he could find...he's at that age. After our hike and picnic lunch, we decided to really get our feet wet (among other things).

I helped the kids climb up on this huge rock. They had a pretty fun view, and even spotted some snapping turtles swimming around in the water below. We had so much fun wading and splashing. If you're looking for a fun place to cool off with the kids - this is perfect! There are even a few natural little water flows/falls which make a perfect slide! I realized today that we've lived in Austin now for two years and never made it to a splash pad!?! I guess we prefer mother nature's swimming holes a bit more ;) We'll most definitely be going back - with swim gear on!
