Turkeyfoot Fun


We took a walk at the Turkeyfoot Preserve. It is named for the big bluestem that grow in the prairie. The big bluestem is also known as "turkeyfoot" because the forked flower cluster resembles the foot of a turkey.

As we began our walk to the prairie, the girls had fun trying to catch the grasshoppers that flitted around us.

We kept an eye out for how many different types of berries we could find. We took pictures so we could look them up once we got home. We also noticed the beautiful wildflowers along the path.

Enjoy some pictures of our walk in the slideshow below....
