Some of my Adventures last month

So I have been busy enjoying life at the moment and haven't taken time to sit and update my journey until now...
School is finally out for the summer yay!!!  I do love it when my son is home with me but I must admit it does change your sleep habits and eating habits as well...sometimes not for the best..lol

 We took a trip to William Henry Harrison's Grave - it is like 20 min from our home and the last time we were there was in 2003 so it was nice to go back and check things out



 Then we went for a walk in the woods at Shawnee Park


 And as we were walking along the trail in the woods look what crossed our path....I did not know what the heck this was untill I posted it on facebook and got an answer...It is a Male Broadhead Skink....how cool is that to see...

 This is the trail we seen the Skink on...it was 1.25 miles long...very pretty
 Then we decided to take another trip and went to visit the Serpent Mound...So cool...
We went with my in laws and had a great day...After the Mound we went to visit an Amish Shop and then Geo Caching...
Do you do any Geo Caching??  We have found 14 so far...I really want to do it more...and I need to update our team profile....


 Me and My Men


Just a cool covered bridge we got to go over...
Nathan and his grandparents

Well this is short and sweet...and I will have many more adventures to share with you
