What fun! I think I have to take the kids to the nature center our next trip home. Maybe I'll try to sneak in a trip to Green Island soon.
Looks like fun. Hunter would LOVE that! Except, here in the warmish-East-Coast... we actually have LEAVES and BUDS on the trees... not to rub it in, or anything like that (brrrrrr!).
