Our Own Little Stay-cation

nature center 011 We wanted to get out and about, but we knew we couldn’t go far with John not being mobile.  We decided on the Nature Center here in town.  We had a good time rummaging around in the woods.

nature center 008 We stopped off to look at the snakes and salamanders, and Grace fell in love with this beaver. 

nature center 016 Grace and Ethan hopped the creek stones to get to this little island.  Gertie wanted to join them, so she just waded through the water.  She was pretty excited to be there with the big ones, though.  Look at that smile.  And they are pretty cool.

nature center 020 Gertie was coaxed into posing next to many stumps and dead trees.  She’s awfully cute next to trees and stumps.

nature center 033 And then we discovered a big tree root that had been uprooted when the tree fell over.  A perfect little hideout for these gangsters.

nature center 038 And this is the only picture of Ethan without his hat on.  I missed his hair, sticking up like it does.  I had to see it, if only for a moment.

nature center 002Have a happy Tuesday.
