Yesterday,  we took a nature walk in a South Florida Wildlife Refuge.  We’ve been here a few times and love it. This is the best time of year to go.  Many animals to see, even a few gator.  During the summer months you have to get out there pretty earl to see much wildlife… today we were there at lunch time which is a much better time with little ones.  Indie kept saying, “this is the best day, Mama.”  I think he could do this kind of thing every day.  He is our nature boy.  I’m right there with him and could take long nature field trips every day….  we used to much more often when the kids were younger.  It’s harder this year trying to get school lessons in.  I should really try to commit to something nature at least once a week.  It’s so refreshing!

I was happy to see so much going on out there in the Everglades today.  It’s only recently that I’ve notice we really are recovering from hurricane Wilma and previous tropical storms that caused so much havoc in our area.  The trees and scrub areas are so much fuller, giving the animals a place to live again.  It’s nice to see!
