Visit to the Nature Center

We had a day off soccer so we decided to go explore more of Boise. We ended up at the Boise Nature Center. The kids are all familiar with the animals found in the wild (thanks to Nick's great knowledge, wisdom and love for the outdoors) but it was neat to see the kids get to touch & feel the owls, mountain lions, moose, deer, all types of birds (ducks, quail, pheasants, grouse, etc.) ,see and get in a bear's den, know where bats hang out, what types of fish to look for in lakes and rivers, there was so much to see. Nolan loved watching the fish, Sage loved it all & Katy liked seeing the beaver's dam and watching the fish in the little lake. After the Nature center we went up to Bogus Basin for a nice drive and to check things out for when winter hits. You can mountain bike & hike up there now.
