Turtle Whispering at the Nature Sanctuary

 The weather is perfect today. We stopped by the nature sanctuary this morning on our way to visit Grandma.

We went in search of turtles and were pleasantly surprised with a common Broad Banded Water Snake.

 We found our turtles easily too.

 This one is TROUBLE.

 The kids searched for "treasure" aka vines to climb.

 Taven smelling flowers. He said "this one smells beautiful but this smells like nothing."

 A little Cottontail on our way out.

So glad it is fall and we can truly enjoy ourselves outdoors. Camping this next weekend!

Houston Audubon Society

We went on another nature walk today! The heat is really not so bad. We went over to the library where I use to work to say hello to everyone and then we went to one of our favorite spots nearby, the Houston Audubon Society's Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary.

We attempted to stalk butterflies.

We collected feathers.

Eaden told me she wanted to hang on this tree and then got very upset with me when I let her go.

We checked out the view from "the big bridge."

Taven wanted me to hold him most of the time.

We watched the tadpoles.

And we spent a lot of time pouring water over each others' heads.

More summer nature walks coming up!
