Idyllwild Nature Center

 

Today we explored the Idyllwild Nature Center.

Aubrey has to wear her eyepatch every day. Notice how she likes to peek over her glasses and eyepatch.

James found his gray fox.

Checking out the soft fur and paw prints of the local animals.



Here's Idyllwild on this topographical model of the mountains.

James and Evan loved playing with the lincoln logs.

James' little cabin.

Evan's log cabin.


Making a whole set of cabins.

And a fortress by James.

They have some quail right outside the nature center.

Learning about tree rings.

Just down the trail, there is a puppet theater set up, so the kids made up a play.

Nature means climbing for these kids.

A little too high up for Aubrey.

So she joins in on the smaller climbs like this fallen tree.


James dabbing after his climb.


The cabin has this funny wanted poster for the local squirrels.

Playing some Codenames with Nana.

And finishing our day in the hot tub.


The kids really like getting in the water.
