The leaves on trees were just starting to turn so it was beautiful in the park. State parks usually have park-led programs taking place all the time, especially on weekends. We went on a 2.5 mile hike with a park volunteer that took about 2 hours as we explored all of the mushrooms growing in the park. Even though it had been very dry and mushrooms were fewer in number, we found them all over! We've all seen mushrooms, but don't always pay close enough attention to notice that they grow on so many trees and fallen branches.
Our second day in the park took us on a tour of the Pioneer Village, a very cool experience showing what life was like in the 1800s.
We walked along a couple of other trails, including a beautiful trail around a small lake. We also toured the Gus Grissom museum, the Twin Caves, and the one-night only Haunted Village, but I'll discuss these three experiences in different posts. The Haunted Village was the Pioneer village all dressed up to scare people! It was a blast and we are definitely glad we waited in line to get tickets and then again to go through the Haunted Village.
