today we went for a hike in the Kettle Moraine Forest, Southern Unit

hike1

it was going really well

hike2

 

hike4

hike5

we met a little yellow butterfly

hike6

and she sat on Zoe’s finger

hike7

then we let Maisy lead the way

hike8

we hiked for 20 minutes before we realized that we were no longer on the right set of trails

and we had to turn around and go back

hike9

Zoe wasn’t too excited about that

but at least I got to take a picture of this arc shaped tree

hike10

but our 3 mile hike turned into more than we had time for

it was 12:45 p.m. and my husband had to be to work at 1:45 p.m.

and we didn’t even know where the car was

hike12

but this tree was pretty cool

hike11

1 hour and 57 minutes after we started, we finally got back to the car

hike3

It’s a good thing I took so many pictures

I don’t think we’ll be hiking through the Kettle Moraine Forest in Eagle, WI again
