Field trip to the Nature Musuem

On Friday, my friend Jill and I went to Charlotte to visit our other college roommate Sara and take our kids to the nature museum there. We amazingly got to Charlotte by 10:15 in the morning. We enjoyed some time looking at the animals, the butterfly gardens, crawling through the "tunnels", and going for a nature walk.

Catherine really liked the river activity station they had with running water and pretend bugs.

We took a little nature walk--it was a good break from all of the bus loads of elementary school children inside the musuem! It got a little muddy from all the rain earlier this week, but was still a good time.

After the nature musuem, we got lunch and went back to Sara's house to eat and play. Will loves Sara's dog, Nola, so much that he wouldn't even sit down to eat lunch. We had a great visit and loved our time with Sara! We also enjoyed a peaceful car ride home when all 3 took naps. Yeah for a fun day!
