We went to Tinker *Nature *Center - a cute little place in the woods, with a playground, pond and a boardwalk through a swamp.
First pitstop, playground. Notice that there are no shots of Elizabeth - she was a whirling dervish, not to be captured by camera.
The first climb of the season! Frances is a monkey with great upper body strength. She shimmied up to the top.
Just a little dose of cuteness.
Then it was into the deep dark swamp.......
We spent a lot of time looking for critters and were very excited to find 3 snakes.
Elly really wanted to pick it up but Lewis warned her that snakes will squeeze you to death if you touch them. He's just a little ray of sunshine.
Some other swamp creatures.......
Lewis was SO LOUD that I think he scared most of the animals away. We didn't even see one deer.
Frances' new fashion accessory - her ipod. We had a deal that I would pay her $1 for every hour she practiced violin until she had enough $$$ to buy an ipod. She did it in about 4 months.
Another sign of spring - the green machine is back in action!

Note to self: scratch swamp trip off my fun things to do list...
You are just rolling in the green stuff aren't you? Your lawn should have Tiger Woods at tee off.
It's still depressing and dark and bare, and grey and the grass is yellow and under snow..... Thank goodness it hasn't dimmed my cheery outlook.
oh.........you're a good mom
I could not do swamp time no matter what
That looks like a cool place!
