While down in Naples we visited the Cumming Nature Center. The kids love the little eco education corner inside and trails were beautiful outside. Ben’s map reading skills were on point while Cassidy was all about the mud! Buds were just starting to pop on trees and we heard lots of happy birds. We also encountered a forestry class from FLCC who were marking and measuring in the woods, Ben was fascinated with their flagging and notes! I wish I’d known about jobs like that when I was a kid!

We needed a little help with the origami craft…

Ben also loved the animal scat molds and took the opportunity to have Bear make the black bear poop ;-) It’ll be a sad day when he doesn’t bring Bear on adventures anymore.

After playing outside and exploring the trails we watched a little bit of Planet Earth in the theater. Kids were SO tired by the end of our trip, it was a great day!
