{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real} October 24

{Pretty}

The weather has been gorgeous and we took advantage of the pleasant temps to go on a field trip to our local nature center.  Don't you just love the visitor's center? What a view!

We saw deer on several occasions and were surprised at how close they actually let us get to them.

{Happy}

The kids loved running about and exploring.  They climbed into two tree houses, 

and in and out of a bear's den, 

and a mouse's hole.

They enjoyed shuffling through fallen leaves, 

and blowing billows of weedy fluff.

I tried to get a group photo of my four, but Lil' Lamb would take off before the shot was taken calling out, "Let me see!"

Not {Real}

We were convinced this was a real heron.  So convinced the kids even saw it blink it's eyes and turn it's head.  When we returned to this spot 2 hours later, the bird was still standing in the exact same spot.  It was then that we all realized it was just a very real looking metal sculpture.  Ornithologists, we are not!
