Kris Kutay led story time in Mineral Wells Park last Wednesday. The group was reading about oceans and how to keep them safe and clean, as part of their Ocean of Possibilities summer program.

Green grass and blooming wildflowers covered the rolling hills of a local 350-acre forest ranch as we drove in for an overnight getaway on a spring afternoon.
