Pioneer Park Class- Nature Hike

Our family got together with another wonderful homeschool family, to do a nature class, through Pioneer Park. As long as you lived in the city limits, it was "free". This class taught the basics of Nebraska; the type of rocks, trees, birds, animals, and plants that live and grow within this state. Me and my friend Kory, hiked with our kids; her 6, and my 4 for 2 hours. They all did fairly well, I thought. Our guide's name was Ted, and he had a funny sense of humor. He told the kids in a joking manner that secretly, "the plants are trying to take over the world." This park is HUGE and just about one of the few prettiest nearby. I think I was one of the first to start complaining that it was going over the 1 and 1/2 hour time limit. The rain clouds started to come in during our hike, and thankfully the rain held up until we were all done with our hike. Making it ONE fun trip for my kids. They can't wait for the next one.
