Nature Fest 2011


On Saturday we took the boys to Nature Fest at Jeffer's Bend. We met up with the Couchmans. Stephen and Evan both like looking at the butterflies.


Rockam joined in too.


One Monarch was willing to hang around and be observed up close.


After petting some miniature ponies and hugging an alpaca (joe's got a pic of that on his phone), the kids wanted to paint pumpkins. Stephen said, "I'm painting the OCEAN!" His pumkin turned out looking like a globe.


Stephen also liked this bunny and little chicken. He was all about touching all the animals.


Next, we took a walk into the woods.


Where the kids made peanut butter-pinecone bird squirrel feeders.


Dr. Selbe said that the squirrels would bite the yarn and steal the pinecone.
He was right. All that remains on our tree is a bit of frayed yarn.


And, as the perfect ending to the day, they even got a little canoe ride.
Stephen went with Brenden and Emily.
