This has been the summer of too much rain and even more mosquitoes. We were reminded of this recently when we decided to go for a hike around Jester Park with no bug spray. The first few minutes of the hike were spent exclaiming over the cool bugs on the forest floor, but we were soon swatting wildly at our heads, necks and arms, and practically running out of the woods with a trail of mosquitoes behind us.

Away from the woods and hungry mosquitoes, we had a good time exploring Jester Park's natural playscape. The icy pond felt good on a hot day.
We avoided the dense woods on the walk back to the car, opting to walk along the road instead. Luckily G found a good walking stick.
