A Trip to the Nature Center...

one of our favorite places.


 Which animal will we find first?

 
 First stop, turtles and lots of them.
 
 Then across the bridge to the bears and deer.  Notice who is "leading" the way.

 
 Getting up close with the grey wolves.  We got to hear them howling...really cool but a little creepy.

 Bobcat Katie, on the move.
 
 A quick ice cream break.

 
 They have the neatest butterfly house, where you can go into a large screen greenhouse filled with plants and newly hatched butterflies and moths.  They spray your hands with sugar water and then the butterflies will land right in your hand.  They also like to rest on heads and catch rides on bright colored clothes.  On this stop Abram was the lucky one to get to hold one in his hand.

 
 And finally the kids turned into otters to try out the slide.

If you ever come to visit, we will take you to try out all the fun!
