Mounds and Covered Bridges

Mounds State Park and Parke County's covered bridges were two trips we were able to take when Grandparents were visiting.  Mounds State Park was Saturday morning, we then listened to conference on the way home.  The covered bridges were seen while the big kids were in school.  Both were enjoyable excursions. 

Mounds State Park

 Mounds State Park is named due to some Indian Mounds that are on the property.  It had some short hikes and we were able to help the ranger feed the animals.  One exciting thing was a box turtle was just digging itself out of the dirt after a long winter underground.

Parke County Covered Bridges

 The bridges were a nice country drive.  Most we could drive through, but a few had been bypassed with other more modern bridges so we walked through.  At the Bridgeton Mill they we stopped for ice cream.  I tried Sweet Potato Pie and Persimmon both which were delicious.
