Park Quest 15 and ...

not 16! We had a good day today but it was definitely harder than most Park Quests and we were too tired for a second one. We had egg muffins, maple bacon muffins, and bananas in the car for breakfast as we headed out early to Greenwell State Park.  The kids were really excited to see lots of horses beside the parking lot.
Once we found the right parking lot, we headed out on the trail but we didn't see the trail listed on the Park Quest instructions. So we hiked an extra bit on the way to the start. We did find the Brown trail which linked to the Blue which linked to the red (a little longer start than the .2 miles listed :) The kids had a great time hiking- even though I wasn't sure I could get past this fallen tree. A little harder to bend over these days!
We had several great views of the Hogneck River.
We did go on a little (make that a long) extra hike which let us see this turtle.
We finally made it back to the car- absolutely worn out and decided one park quest was enough for today. Along the way I remembered College Park Aviation Museum was on the way. So we made a short stop there and checked out the airplanes.
They had great costumes there
Fun planes to fly
Practice flights
Even a simulator which was pretty hard.
Our day didn't go quite as planned but it was another good one!
