Today the girls and I met Aunt Lori, Kayli, and our friends at Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary in Modjeska Canyon. A little slice of heaven about 15 minutes from "civilization". It was sprinkling prior to our arrival and again right as we were leaving, but was mostly dry while the girls ran around. Tall oaks and cacti were the highlight for me. Other sightings were birds, turtles, a dry creek bed and a giant taxidermy bear and other local animals in the very kid-friendly visitor center. The little ones, especially loved the microscopes and the different items they were able to view. Future scientists? Maybe. Naturalists? Maybe.
It can be silent and peaceful out in the canyon. I suspect that is when there are not 5 kids running around and me going crazy and raising my voice at my eldest when she would not listen to me. Oh well.
Peace out.
