What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?
Lately, it’s storybook trail walks with the kids under winter stars. A true heart-soother.
Last week, we joined the WDNR candlelight walk at Horicon Marsh. Lanterns flickered against the frost. We crunched through chilly snow. We found laminated pages of a storybook trail. This one follows a bird-counting adventure. The kids’ eyes sparkled. They flipped each page tacked to tree stumps. Volunteers shared facts about animal furs and owls. It transformed a cold night into pure wonder.
Our cheeks were rosy from the chill. Hot cocoa afterward made it perfect. I’m so grateful for the people who work hard on these events. The book changes monthly. I make it a priority to bring the kids often. It blends nature, stories, and family beautifully.
