Swamp Rabbit Trail

Today Josh, Tillman, and I enjoyed an adventurous day on the Swamp Rabbit Trail in Greenville. Two days ago I mentioned to Josh that it would be nice to walk the Swamp Rabbit Trail as long as it wasn't too hot. Well, he took that and transformed it into us renting bikes from The Great Escape, biking down to Furman, coming back and biking to Falls Park, having a picnic lunch at Falls Park, and stopping back by the fountains for T to cool off before heading back to the car and returning to Easley. I love that about Josh. I give basic, mundane suggestions and he turns them into fun, all day adventures that the whole family enjoys. T must have REALLY enjoyed herself because she slept 3+ hours!
Here's a recap of our Swamp Rabbit Trail adventure:

Buckle up and wear a helmet for safety!

Getting all strapped in before heading out for a ride.

Josh is a skilled biker. He can ride a bike with a toddler on the back and take a picture at the same time. Me, not so much. I about crashed when he tried to give me a high five.

Having fun!! Does my helmet look funny to you? It should.

I didn't adjust it very well before we got started. I was a tad uncomfortable up until this stop.

What does a train say? Choo! Choo!
We stopped for a quick look at the train as we made our way onto Furman's campus.

Exploring the train.

And having a quick snack to refuel.

A nice gentleman offered to take a shot of all 3 us of.

T running off to show us the ducks. Soo excited!

What does a duck say? Quack! Quack!

Loving the ducks.

Chasing them too.

They got tricked. They thought we had food.

Nice view on campus.

Loving on my big girl.

Clock tower

Our view for lunch. Quite nice, I think!
Eating on a bench at Falls Park.

Another angle

Hot & hungry; in the zone.

I love my family!!! Having so much fun!

She's such a big girl. Sad and adorable at the same time.

What we saw when we looked straight ahead from our lunch spot. Not bad.

Falls Park

...And then...we played in the fountains! :)
Trying to catch the water.

Where'd the water go?

Trying to convince T to be brave and touch the "big water."

She needed a little extra boost. I pratically forced her into the water. :)

Back to her comfort zone.

And her feet apparently needed to get wet?

She kept trying to trap/contain the water.

I just love this one.

And, yes, Josh convinced Tillman to "Look for the water."
Face full.

Saying bye-bye to the fountains.

We had a GREAT time! Thank you, Josh! :)
