Autumn






"Autumn leaves under frozen souls,
Hungry hands turing soft and old,
My hero crying as we stood out their in the cold,
Like these autumn leaves I dont have nothing to hold."
- Paolo Nutini










Since we are finally blessed with cool mornings, I took the kids to Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve. The park is located on the South West corner of Lake Grapevine. The main building houses a gift shop, exhibits, restroom, and educational classes for children ages 3-8 years.







The 70 acres of Crosstimbers ecosystem is crawling with nature's critters. We walked the 3/4 mile trail (very easy) and spotted 3 deer, squirrel, birds, spiders, and other crawlers. The boys were fascinated with the animal prints in the sand. There are many picnic benches along the trail with provided shade. The preserve is free to visit so no excuses not to see this treasure. Park land is open daily 9:00am - 5:00pm.
