Out of nowhere the kids and I decided that today would be the day to do our bark rubbings and compare the different types of bark according to the trees but that in itself is a little challenging since we live in North Dakota and we are pretty much limited in Trees  in the area where we live we have about 2 different species of trees we have  the Pine Tree and the Let me think....hummmm...Oh Yea the Pine Tree .....Alright I'm exaggerating .....we have 4 lol  

Well I decided that the best place to go would be our biggest park here in good Ole' Minot Oak Park and worked out just great the kids and I enjoyed walking around for a change instead of runnning from the cold! But here are a few pics of our mini hike around Oak Park.
