A Sunday Hike in Connecticut

Connecticut is full of great places to explore. Sunday we decided to go on a spur of the moment hike. This little forest is right next to a park we like to go to.

Sawyer found a great hiking stick.
Thank goodness I just happened to be wearing my Hiking flip-flops!

I love it here, it's so lush and green. The trees get so tall it's like hiking through a Jungle. Notice how the plants are almost as tall as Sawyer, and it's only May.
The only thing is, everyone keeps telling me to be aware of ticks. I would be lying if I said that the thought of being inhabited by a tick never runs through my mind. Especially as I am hiking through the woods in flip flops.
However, we have been lucky so far, and you can bet as I said that I am also knocking on wood. We haven't seen any yet, and I am crossing my fingers that we won't!
