A Rainy Morning at the Nature Center

On Friday we had a MOPS event at Hidden Pond Nature Center. We were expecting about 20 some moms and 30 some kids but it rained that morning so we had a much smaller crowd. I think all of the kids had a great time. We went inside the nature center and downstairs to the classroom. The staff brought out turtles, frogs,and snakes for the kids to look at and touch. They also told us interesting facts about the animals.

After all the kids got to touch this little tree frog, he showed off how he can climb the walls.
Look at Lydia's face. She was so excited to see and touch all the animals.
This is a black rat snake.

When the staff from the nature center visited Wesley's school, he loved the corn snake so he asked about it on Friday. Ryan asked the girl to go get the snake so Wesley could see it again. Maybe that is why Wesley thought Ryan was the greatest. He told Chris about Ryan that night.

It stopped raining long enough for us to walk around the beautiful pond. We saw turtles and geese.

It did start raining again before we left. We had such a good time. I am looking forward to going back when the sun in shining and the kids can play on the playground. But, I don't know if they get the animals out for show and tell if you have not reserved a group time.
