Austin Trip, Part Two

We spent Sunday afternoon at the Austin Nature Center. What an amazing place. Price of admission - Free! We started off at the science center where there were all kinds of hands on activities for the kids. Here is Mr. Big Eyes:

And Abram is all boy... He didn't think anything of picking up these bugs. Ewww...

Then we made out way to the Dino Pit. A huge sandbox with buried dinosaur bones. It doesn't get much better than this.

I think they found some big teeth...?

The next activity involved the kids stripping down to their undies and splashing in the creek... I didn't get pics of this but believe me... they had a ball! Then we went to look at all the animals, owls, hawks, foxes... and ended up here at the nature trail. Our two years olds were still going strong and were a bit disappointed to see that it was closed for the day. We'll have to leave more time for hiking the next time we visit.

We headed out at 5:00 after shutting the place down. It was a long ride back home but well worth the effort. A very fun Austin trip!
