Field Trip Friday - Powder Valley

I have been meaning to visit this nature reserve for years!  Friday was finally the day.  We loved it!  Gotta love the silly faces.

 We explored the gardens outside a bit - we even saw some pretty crazy caterpillars.  Jack and I headed inside to wait for friends and check things out.  This room was awesome.  He loved feeling all of the different animal furs.  We were both surprised that the fox was the softest.

 A freind joined in on the fun and Jack was so excited to explore with her. 

After Jacks yellow jacket incident over labor day, he has been understandabley frightened of any flying insect.  I was thrilled to see they had an enclosed bee hive.  He checked it out with no fear and we talked all about how the bees only want to pollinate - they aren't mean like those awful yellow jackets.  The bee hive was probably his very favorite part.

Lastly we headed out to explore one of the trails.  Unfortunately the one we picked was crazy steep - but we made it!  These two were troopers!
