The Great Outdoors
Posted in Family Life

We went and explored the great outdoors today at a Nature Conservatory, Dauset Trails Nature Center. The southern weather cooperated for us too - it wasn't too hot.
I In the early 1980's, Dauset Trails was primarily a rehabilitation center for injured and orphaned wildlife. The animals were mainly native to the area and could not be released due to the severity of injuries. These animals were given exhibits for protection and display and gradually grew to become the Animal Trail, which is where we started our tour.
My dh and the Juggler then left us to explore the Farm Animals, while they ventured over to the bike trails. The walkie-talkies came in handy to stay in touch with each other.
Now, since farm animals such as horses, mules, cows, goats, chickens and more excite our fancy, we had to mosey over to the barnyard exhibit and see all of the above.
We finished off our walk by feeding the geese, ducks, turtles and carp fish in the HUGE pond by the visitor center; Rubber was disappointed because the baby turtles just weren't fast enough to catch the food she was attempting to throw down to them. That's survival of the fittest at it's finest! We finished just in time to catch up with the weary bike riders!
Our afternoon wasn't complete without a stop here for lunch! YUM!
