Yesterday afternoon we took a little trip down to one of my favorite places in South Knoxville, Ijams Nature Center.

There are lots of trails and things to see here, but this time we just hung around the small pond area. Ezra and some other kids enjoyed looking for tadpoles (we put them right back!) and we spotted several large frogs.

There is a sweet hidden little child’s play area here with woven twig ‘houses’ and a log cabin playhouse.

It’s a quiet and beautiful place to walk in the woods or just…. look at frogs.
