Otter Creek has Otters, but they do look like Calvin

Because the weather was lovely over the weekend, I forced the family out of the house for a hike. We took them to Radnor Lake State Natural Area bc it is close to the house and our travel guide book said the place was beautiful and full of wildlife; it failed to mention the foul pond scum but the place was pretty. We saw a doe and three fawn cross the road right in front of us--just feet away from jeremy and spencer. And I spotted an otter out on a tree trunk in the lake. Jeremy took the big kids down for a closer look to see that the otter was eating a fish. spencer was great about whispering around the critters. Aidyn snorted "uhhh" to the otter, who in turn looked back at her and then continued eating. Preston rode well in his carseat and seemed to enjoy the outdoors. This path was good for a newborn bc it was paved and we could use the stroller. Once i've recovered more and Preston can hold his head up we will have to go back and hike the trails with the smallest kids in backpacks. Of course jeremy will be glad bc pushing three kids uphill in the stroller today was more workout than he cared for.
