We headed back out to one of our quick and easy trails for a little bit of adventure. With a break in the rain, getting outside to stretch our legs was much needed. Ridley made sure his boots were still waterproof by testing them in every puddle we came across. I enjoy giving him control of our hike through this small forest and love what it does for his confidence. He leads me around trees and takes me over long fallen logs while carefully selecting the direction we should take when the path splits. Afterward, we made sure to swing by the play structures to get a bit of play in before the rain started back up.
Awbrey Park OR
Little Adventure : Hikes
There is a little park in North Eugene called Awbrey Park. It's near where I went to grade school and not too far from where my grandparents used to live. There is a nice playground with fun toys for kids, but I think the real fun is a bit further back. Across a small field lies a tree line, just inside those trees is a short trail system with creeks and a few bridges. There is maybe a 1/4 mile worth of trails, but for a 3-year-old it's perfect. I ask him what direction or path we should take, letting him think he is leading us.
