Wilson Springs Nature Center


Wyatt and I went to this awesome nature center for his 2nd Grade field trip. It was such a fun day. We went on a 3/4 mile nature walk around the ponds. Look at all of the neat things that we saw...We couldn't get a good picture of the Red-Winged Blackbirds, but their were baby ducks everywhere.


....and spider-webs, and bugs, and bugs, and bugs!


The kids followed our tourguide down through the marshes looking for bug traps...Most of the parents stayed on the path.




The kids also searched through the grasses for bugs and they found this nest.


When the bug hunt was over, our tourguide let the kids run to the climbing tree. Oh my goodness! What a fun climb! There were kids everywhere! Too funny...If you click on the picture you can zoom in to find Wyatt. He is on the top right side of the tree with a red hat.


We also went fishing...That was insane. I didn't have time to take pictures because I was too busy untangling lines. There was a lot of cross-fishing going on with 27 kids trying to catch the same fish! 4 kids got lucky using a different colored bait...Cheaters!!


We love Wyatt's teacher! She has done an amazing job this year. Thanks, Mrs B!
