Effie Yeaw Nature Center

A couple of weeks ago we decided to take the kids out to do some exploring after church. Effie Yeaw Nature Center was the perfect place!! It is on the American River and has both a great nature center and many hiking trails. After looking at poisonous snakes and learning about the local ecosystem in the nature center, we headed out to see some wildlife. We were lucky to see a giant buck right away, then a herd of deer. We also saw many bugs, birds and squirrels. Aidan's favorite was a red tailed hawk!! We had an awesome time!


We put Camille in the Backpack, which she seems to enjoy. She was asleep in no time!

Isaac didn't find any live crawdads, but this one was pretty exciting!
Brian and the kids stop for a picture. It is impossible to get all four kids looking in the same direction at the same time for a picture!!


We had such a great time. It is so much fun to watch the kids experiencing nature, wildlife and just having a good time together. After this outing we decided to make a point to go camping this summer!






Sorry, I accidentally added this photo and couldn't figure out how to remove it!!
