On a beautiful weekend day last week, the kids and I went for a hike at Battelle Darby Creek metro park while David worked. We were on the hunt for our state amphibian - the spotted salamander. It is endangered, but this metro park is one place you can still find it. Eliana was supposed to have a field trip here with school, so she asked in particular to go for a hike here. We had a really nice time (despite some complaints of tired legs), and it was wonderful to get out of the house for a while. I think a family hike is the second best thing to a school field trip.
