Licterman Nature Center - DUW

I took my kids to a local nature center to try 'hiking' a bit. Turns out they love it, and we ended up walking the trails for 3 hours. The center even provides food to feed the geese, turtles and fish. It was wonderful place for the kids to get in touch with nature, even though the geese are nesting and a bit testy. Stupid goose isn't going to intimidate me though. ;) (although my poor daughter was fearing for her life :oops: ) Here's a couple pics from our trip.

A cute little bridge with my cute little kids

Awww, thanks. I can't even tell you how much they enjoyed the place, which is wonderful. No real 'high tech' stuff, just good old nature! I'm so glad that they enjoy it, as it's taken me 10 years to convince the hubby that nature and camping are fun. (well actually the kids convinced him :giggle: )

Everything is blooming, and our allergies are proof of that! I've heard that the once the trees bloom a bit more all the trails are completely shaded and one of the coolest places.

Thanks Susan. We had lots of fun looking for the tents. That particular one had the largest caterpillars.... it was a full house.
