Hiking in Fontenelle Forest

We are doing the ABC's of activities. To date, we have done 9 of the 26 letters of the alphabet. For our 'F' activity, we chose to go hiking at Fontenelle Forest in Bellevue. Jett wanted to find a dinosaur, Josie was just happy to be the leader, and I wanted to get out of the house because it was 53 and sunny!
