Angel Mounds, Newburgh, Indiana - November 2009
~ Crow Photography ~
A few weeks ago, our family went to Angel Mounds in Newburgh, Indiana. Although this historical site is practically minutes away, the children have only visited this place on field trips with classmates, and never as a family. That day was the most beautiful, abnormally warm day in November, I've ever experienced. We were the ONLY people on the grounds, which allowed us to travel from site to site without the pressure of other patrons scooting us along.
As we walked down the paths and soaked in all the beauty surrounding us, we came upon a large tree with a spectacular limb reaching out one side of its enormous body. The tree was calling to us, as if it yearned and pleaded for the companionship of little children climbing and scampering up and down its massive trunk. What else could we do but help our children up to swing on the begging tree-limb?...and what a sight to behold! We snapped a picture to mark the occasion, and now, that day is one we will fondly remember for a long time.
