We headed to Tualatin Hills Nature Park, it's a great park with tons of trails. Some of them are paved and the unpaved ones are fairly decent with only a few muddy spots. We saw tons of lil wildlife...squirrels, chipmunks, blue jays, and a couple of snakes.
After lunch I still had some energy and was loving the sunshine
, so decided to check out a few more parks on this side of town. I headed to Commonwealth Lake park. This is a cute little park with a great paved trail that loops around the lake. There were tons of people out enjoying the day too.
Caught these two enjoying a nap in the sun
Even found a waterfall!!
I then headed to the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. I used to live down the road from this place, but never stopped in. This place is beautiful and well maintained. I saw lots more birds...ducks, geese, and even a bald eagle. The eagle was too far away for pics, but I got a good look at it using my binoculars.
Ants!!
After soaking up the sun I decided to explore a couple more stroller friendly parks for future outings.
I ended up at Summerlake park, another beautiful park with a small to offer! Summerlake Park has three foot-bridges, tennis courts, basketball court, two playground areas, several picnic tables and the Sorg Rhododendron Garden. I did a nice little figure 8 loops through the park, just under a mile. Then wandered through the Rhododendron Garden.
Overall a great day and plenty of stoller friendly ideas for future outings with my friend and her lil one.
