Creek on Nine Penny hike
Now that I’m restarting this blog after a short 9-year hiatus, I thought I’d start with a little post about some gratitude I’m having for the days spent hiking with my daughter. She has been getting into hiking lately (at least short distances) and I’m soaking it up – especially in this absolutely beautiful weather we’re having in mid-to-late May in Indiana.
I’ve always wanted to ensure that my daughter develops an appreciation for nature and a desire to be outdoors, so when I’ve the opportunity to get her outside, I try to take it every time. On this particular day, we hiked the Nine Penny Branch trail outside of Charlestown, Indiana. We had our friend Eve with us, and we just had a blast. Seeing the two explore the creek, searching for cool rocks and odd bugs, warmed my heart.
I know it’s a privilege getting outside like this, but I hope you’re able to find time with the trees as well.
