Today we made a trip out to the Howell Nature Center. Neither of us had been there since we were kids so we were excited to check it out! Turns out a lot has changed! They have a trail full of animals, as well as a really cool Nature Scape which is a completely natural playground. Pretty cool!
Checking out the coyotes. The staff came over and made them howl. Emmett wasn't sure what to think of that!
Going into the tunnel to get up to the little viewing glass area for the groundhog...
There he is! He has to be carried away from the tunnel because he didn't want to leave. The groundhog wasn't even in there!
Checking out a barn owl
The nature scape was definitely the coolest part and we spent about an hour and a half there! They have this really cool wading pool with a waterfall.
Checking out the big bucket of toys
Dumping them in!
Heading over to check out the waterfall...
He loved this rubber ducky and kept making him go down the waterfall
Then he found another rubber ducky...
And decided to race them!
On to a boat!
I guess the ducky wanted to hitch a ride in the boat...
Once we finally pulled him away from the water area(not an easy task!) and got some dry clothes on him, we got to check out the rest of the nature scape. Here he is making some music...
Then he found the sandbox and this was where we spent the rest of our time here. :)
