My mom and aunt were here the past couple of days and so we decided to take a field trip to the WNC Nature Center. We have never been there before and it was so fun! I guess you could kind of compare it to a zoo, but it was all the animals that are in this region. The boys had a great time.
Everett sliding down the slide. Hampton said he wanted to slide too, but when I got up there with him he quickly changed his mind.

It was mostly shaded and did require a lot of walking, but both of the boys did so well. Everett was running all around and Hampton was taking his time and looking at everything. And I do mean everything. We kept calling him grandpa!
And then we found a shaded spot and had a picnic lunch of hummus sandwiches, cheese, fruit, and black olives.
I think eating lunch was Eleanor's favorite part of the adventure.
Can you spot Everett!?!
Hampton was red-faced and tired by the end of the morning.
Everett got to pet a turtle!
And a snake! Hampton said "no!" when I asked him if he wanted to pet the reptiles. I don't blame him. I am always surprised at how Everett shows no fear with these types of things.
We had so much fun! We'll have to return with Eric. A successful field trip with no meltdowns!
