An Unexpected Adventure

After we finished the explorer garden, Lillias encouraged us to go see the Footbridge
over the River Clyde. Since a gate was locked, we had to head another way. We saw a sign for a Clyde Walkway that we decided to take. It was a beautiful trail that had some nice views along it. It seemed to be winding back around to take us back to the bridge that we really went to see. Unfortunately at the end, we realized we were at a dead end and were going to have to walk all the way back the same way we had come. On the trail, we all got stung by nettles, thorny weeds, that made us get these burning bumps that tingled and hurt. Thankfully the girl’s stopped hurting after a few minutes…mine on the other hand is still burning and numb hours later. (It took about 24 hours for the burning and numbness to end!) Annye told me I should add it to the list of things I’m allergic to! I agreed to carry Maddie back on my back…Annye was a trouper and knocked it out!
