Peterson Park

We went to Peterson Park yesterday. Daren spent the day fishing. I went hiking, swimming, and read part of a great book. There are a ton of trails there with a lake for swimming and lots of river for Daren to fish. After hours of fishing Daren only caught a bull frog, so we'll have to try again on his next day off with some different bait. Out of all the days we've been here, yesterday only got up to 77 degrees so it was great for hiking, but not so much for swimming. At least on the next 106 degree day we'll have a shady place to go swimming.

Evening Walks

There is a river just a quarter of a mile down the road from our house. Daren and I have been trying to walk down there a few nights a week. We've had a lot of fun catching frogs and watching a beaver swim around. After it gets dark the fire flies come out. I tried to take a few pictures of them flying in the corn field, because it was really pretty. As you can see from the picture though they just come out as little white/yellow blurs.
