Fossil Ridge Open Space Nature Walk

Welcome and enjoy!!!

Our nature walk out at Fossil Ridge Open Space was wonderful!! This hike is wonderful in the winter non- windy day.  The sky, clouds and the views of the open space is gorgeous.  This time of year the Bald Eagles are roosting so you can only walk the Sandpiper trail. It is a one way in and out but there is a viewing area.  This area is great to stop at and have a snack and play on the ice!!!! 




 Don't mess with a boy and his suit coat!! adorable



amazing how the rock and its bubbles froze as the rock is falling.  The kids loved viewing the different rocks and shapes in the ice.
Good-bye my Friends, Happy Trails ~Angela

NIx Natural Area/ Fairy House building

For me this was a very special day. Wonderful area, great story, beautiful people what else can you ask for. We started out finding our hidden forest for our fairy houses. Then read the book Fairy Houses, by Tracy Kane great book it allows the magic of the woods come to life.



We had some sweet fairies of our own.
So fun yet serious fairy house constuction under way.


The above fairy house was a group effort with levels.
The kids explored the area found their spots near water, trees, twigs, fallen trees. then they started building. The one rule of the woods is to use only natural elements for the area and not to use live plants unless you do not have to pull it out to use it. These houses were constucted with twigs, bark, rocks, and anything found around them. It was a treasure to watch these children with such happiness create these lovely homes.








Happy Fairy House building,

Angela
