Hidden Pond Nature Center

We love Hidden Pond Nature Center. It is sad that we don't walk there more often. We live so close yet we always drive there. I am working on getting more exercise for me and the kids so we may need to walk there more.
We took a class there Wed after school. It is always so fun and the kids (and me) actually learn a lot about animals. We have taken home a worm and a cricket as a pet from class. They both died quickly at our home.
Here they are learning about turtles. See the turtle by the teacher (girl in the blue shirt)
They were having races to see who was fastest.





One day we went there and saw all the frogs out. (they were making mating calls, but we didn't discuss that with the kids) We decided to come back another day to fish. My kids were all excited to see them but wanted nothing to do with them once they caught the tadpoles. I am a little squeemish with little critters so I was glad not to bring any home with us.
