Communing with Nature

Today we took a family outing to a local canyon. Our first stop was the nature center, where each of us found something to enjoy.

Joy liked story time.

Daniel liked opening and closing the front door.

Phillip and I liked checking out the snakes on display. We learned that the kingsnake got its name because it isn't affected by rattlesnake venom. It eats rattlesnakes for lunch. Don't mess with the king.

After leaving the nature center, we drove to a nearby trail head and hiked down to a stream where we splashed around and munched some goldfish crackers.

Look, Uncle Sean! There's a fish in that stream!
