Nature center

In an effort to make our week more cohesive, we checked out the Wildwood Nature Center in Park Ridge.  We went to a new story time yesterday and they are doing an animal theme for the next five weeks.  I told Josh as he went to bed last night that we would go to the zoo today, but Brookfield Zoo and Lincoln Park Zoo were just too far to take a toddler in the car, without fear of him removing his socks and shoes in boredom. So I got on the interwebs and found that they had a feeding time here, and my favorite, it was FREE!  The feeding time we almost over before it started, but the activity/art room was great too. Josh really liked petting the bunny, guinea pigs, ferret and snake they brought out.  He was fascinated by the half dozen turtles, and when recounting our day to Dad at night, reminded me of the fish too.
