September 2017

I’m a little late in writing this, our busy life style and my workload at the office have been keeping me from updating our little slice of the internet on a regular basis but; here we are better late than never and man what a month September was.

We had some great adventures the best was probably go ape, a zip-line tree climbing obstacle course recently built near our house. Both of the kids did great, Evan literally has no fear I spent most of the time with him trying to keep up.

Another weekend we took Evan to Hidden Pond Nature Center, what a cool place. They had a few different species of turtles, snake and bird exhibits. Then there was a huge pond with a walking trail around it, the pond was filled with turtles some small some as big as a manhole cover. Evan had a great time, what I particularly enjoyed was the kids corner in the main building, man that thing took me back. You see in Montana there are a ton of “kids’ corners” in every nature exhibit from Big Mountain to Glacier National Park; they all have a little space with crafts for kids, some hands-on treats, and a lesson about the importance of wildlife. The Hidden Pond kids corner look, felt, and even smelt like the ones I had enjoyed so much in Montana, I was great to be able to share something similar to that with Evan.
