Our moms and tots took a little field trip to the Bear Creek Eco park in Barrie. This is a little treasure in the heart of Barrie that I had never heard of until one of our mamas told me it would be a great place to go explore with the kids.
It was a hot day, but the kids didn't seem to mind since there was so much to see and so much to discover.
A short little path off a hidden parking lot on a main street, led us to a long bridge over a pond full of wildlife for us to see and explore.
We saw dozens of turtles basking in the sun on logs throughout the pond, tons of frogs and a family of ducks!
While we walked along the bridge the kids were so excited to see if they could spot the turtles and the frogs hidden in the bulrushes, on the logs or swimming in the water.
When we got to the end of the bridge we walked up to the next clearing and to another path where we had a treat of running into a nature scientist that was with her family.
The scientist had caught a frog and was teaching the kids about how they live. It was very neat to have the kids get this extra experience on our walk and learn something that I could never have taught them!
It was a great day and we will be going back for sure!
