Exploring something new

Headed out with my girls today to explore the West Virginia Botanic Gardens after reading a nice article in the Herald Standard newspaper.

We grabbed the camera and headed out with hope of capturing great pictures of flowers, butterflies and maybe even flowers and I had the great idea that we could sneak in some exercise while we explored the trails too!

We were greeted by volunteers that shared trail maps and pointed us in the right direction. Then as we went to park in a different parking lot we unexpectedly ran into some family which was a nice surprise!

It was a nice afternoon and we got some ideas for our own butterfly garden. My girls got some practice with their photography skills. These pics were taken by my 4 year old :) I think she is getting pretty good with the camera! As an added bonus, we had a nice walk and got some fresh air!

Often getting exercise isn't about going to the gym or doing an endless exercise DVD. It can be achieved just enjoying life with your family and friends. Sometimes so impromptu exploring is just what you need. Hope you had an enjoyable weekend too!
