I was starting to develope a twitch from the need to be in the woods.
This is just a little patch of woods surrounded by houses and buildings but it still helped me breathe deeper.
I did not want to leave.
The Ray Harral Nature Park is located off 121st(Tucson St) east of Elm.
It is behind the school.
If you use the address from the Broken Arrow site to get directions be sure to use google maps.
The other map sites do not always lead to the park.
There is supposed to be a 15 mile trail at Walnut Creek State Park by the water.
We did not really see the trail that was on the map much, although there were a lot of other equestrian trails around.
I am not sure if the map was wrong or we were just not seeing the trail.
We just went on one of the equestrian trails until we were close enough to the lake to cut across to the shore.
Since the map showed following the edge of the lake we just walked along the shore.
Obviously my boys hate walking next to water…
I took advantage of a beautiful spot and my little photographer.
I am so glad I can hand my boys the camera and get a good shot of Nick and I!
There were many lightsaber battles to be had.
Thankfully I know enough about Star Wars to inform my son that Anakin always protected his mother.
As opposed to trying to get her with the force or his lightsaber…
We had not been here in a little while and I am glad we went!
It does close some areas every December though so if you want to check it out you might want to do so soon!
We got to see so much beautiful country on this trip!
I am so glad that my husband and I had the opportunity to go!
