Exploring one of the local State Parks

Sunday morning we decided to go to one of the local State Parks and walk around. Many of the state parks say that they have walking trails, but until very recently we haven't tried them(Strollers don't go to well in soft sand) the kids are too heavy to carry when they get tired. So off we went to Topsail Hill to walk the nature trail. Turns out a 2.5 mile trail through soft sand is pretty tiring, so needless to say we didn't finish and had to turn around before we were even halfway done. Still got to see some "nature" though. Who knew that within a few hundred yards of the Gulf of Mexico there is a freshwater lake!
We also were able to see lots of crab tracks and one crab. Kirt told Jason that we were like Diego since we found the animal that was making the tracks.
Just had to get a photo of this butterfly.
Next time we decide to "hike" this trail we will bring a few more supplies. But I think we will probably do it again before we leave here.
