Field Trip!

With fall break and all...we decided it was time for a field trip!

Eva was excited!

 We took the girls to the nature center in the canyon near our home.  This outing involved about a 15min. trail walk from the parking lot to the center.  Once inside it was warm and full of fun things for the girls to see and do!

First they checked out the turtle, snakes, and spiders...

 Madilynn was about as tall  as the mule deer...

 Looking closer at those butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers, and other bugs with the magnifying glass!

 This was a fun game for the girls.  They put their hand in the hole and felt of an object in the box and then tried to guess what it was.  The first one was a turtle shell...Madilynn got them right, yea!

 Then she went over to the wildlife viewing area.  She found birds and chipmunks just out the window and even got to use binoculars to check them out!

 Daddy & Madilynn tried this game, and I think Daddy finished it.  It was matching up each animal with its poop...

 We got Eva out of the stroller to enjoy herself too!  Looks like she's taller than a coyote...

 See how far she can reach...

 Elizabeth went  around the whole place hooting like the owl (good thing we were the only ones there!)

 Madilynn looked at a few books in the library area

 Then Elizabeth & Eva made their way to the wildlife viewing area and enjoyed it too!

 As we drove back into town the view across the canyon to the Wellsville's was beautiful!

Such a fun field trip.  Madilynn said it was so fun and we had to go back!
