Summer Saturday

Futon Night

Ben and Sam built a wooden airplane from the new Madagascar movie

We haven't been to the annual "Walk With Wildlife" and the fishing clinic at the Great Plains Nature Center in a couple of years.  We had a really good time.  Both Sam and Ben caught a fish pretty quickly.  Ben's fish was tiny and Sam's was a little bigger. 


Sam built up the nerve to throw the fish back in the lake.

We walked around the nature center and completed a scavenger hunt.  The different stations had skunks, falcons,  turtles, insects, birds, and here Ben is picking up a large crawfish.  They were quite large with big pinchers, but Ben learned the correct way to handle them. 



This is an 85 year old snapping turtle.  He's the biggest ever in Kansas.  Weighs about 45 pounds.
