The crazy boy!

Even Sarah was very thorough recording specimen drawings!





Leo wanted to take a picture of Jill and me.
He did a great job!






The Little Bears

the best attempt at a family picture we could deliver


Trying to catch frogs!

success!


Sarah and Sophia really, really wanted to take one home!

My kids really do enjoy walks and exploring.  I would like to do more of it and when we go camping, this is one of their favorite activities.  The weather has been so pleasant lately that I figured we just needed to make it happen!  The Ernie Miller Nature Center isn't too far away and sadly we had never been there before!  I called up Jill and they were up for an adventure too!  Everyone had a great time and we must go back and do more trails!  We picked a shorter route thinking that would be easier for the kids, but honestly, they didn't really even notice how far we walked and were eager to keep exploring.  I can't wait to do this again and I need to find some more trails close by too!
