The Heard Nature Museum

Yesterday was adventure day 2. We went to the Heard here in McKinney. The animatronic dinosaurs are back and Katharine has been asking for a while to go see them. So we did.
After we walked the 1/2 mile dinosaur trail we visited the handful of wild animals that the Heard has: mostly raccoons and other small animals that people kept as pets and then dumped. Now they have a safe home. Then we went to the butterfly house and from there we hiked the prairie and wetlands trails. We walked around 4 miles and the kids only complained once during the last 5 or 10 minutes. The promise of candy got them going again, they all ended up picking out a snack instead. Needless to say that they were tired.



After the hike and they are still smiling:)








They all needed a snack and drink.

Oops, just noticed that this is in here twice. Oh well,...

Kassidy was really scared of the dinosaurs. I ended up having to turn the stroller away from the dinosaurs and pull the canopy done as far as possible.
