The playground outside the Visitor's Center.
On Sunday we went to a great program at Winton Woods about herpetology, which Riley is especially interested in. The snow apparently kept a lot of people home -- we were the only ones there besides one other Mom and a boy about Riley's age. The park naturalist who did the program was *awesome* -- friendly and engaging and had pulled together so many resources and ideas. We all learned a lot and had a great time and were so glad we trekked out again to go to this.

Back at home, enjoying the rare treat of sledding on the leftover snow on a comfortably warmish (40-something) day.
And, finally, our newest addition to the family: Fang, the Chilean Rose Hair tarantula. Oh, man she gives me the creeps.

Man, I can't even look at that spider picture. We haven't been up to Hamilton Parks yet, but I saw some good programs listed in the family magazine for Sharon Woods. I'm thinking about a trek too!
I love to go to Sharon Woods. In the winter, it is especially good for people who like to avoid cold weather like my kids & I do -- they have a great, 2-story indoor playground in their Visitor Center. It only costs around $2-3per child. I think one of the salamander programs Maya wants to go to is going to be at Sharon Woods.
Fun! When my kids were little Keith was working in Minneapolis. A six month assignment turned to four years. We used to visit him three or four times a year (and he came home for ten days a month).
ANYway, in those days and maybe still, the children's museum there (in St. Paul, I think) had a ant costumes and a kid-sized ant-world, with tunnels, and a room for eggs and stuff to gather and move around.
