For our adventure today, the kids and I went to the Audubon Society on Cornell Rd. I had never been here before and would highly recommend it to anyone. There is a nature room that has real "stuffed" animals from around Oregon. The kids were fascinated by the animals and a little freaked at first. After a visit to the Care Center, we went hiking along the trails. It was a great adventure and very kid-friendly.
There were even some hands-on activities...
Brody's nemesis...the raccoon.
We were able to go into the Care Center to see some live birds (turkey vulture, owls, etc.). We were also able to peek into the bird hospital. The kids loved this.
The pond along Jay Trail was teeming with salamanders. See the little fella below the rock?...
The hiking trails were great. Lots of small elevation changes, bridges and water...
We brought flip flops along so the kids could take their shoes off and play in the creek...
After visiting the Audubon Society,
we went to the Pittock Mansion for a picnic and to tour the house...
The dining room...
