Today we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a hike at the Theler Wetlands. This is the entrance heading toward the Nature Center.
Sadly, I had to do a lot of work on this photo. The kids were completely washed out, and I'm not quite sure why. The gate was beautiful.
As always, an opportunity comes up to teach the children something. Daryn found a leaf with spores underneat the fronds and we had a little science lesson right there on the path.

There was a beautiful view from the path overlooking a portion of the Hood Canal. We saw so many different kinds of birds and their songs were heard throughout the wetlands. The most recongizable songs were those of the red-winged blackbird and the stellar jay.
Just another great shot overlooking the wetlands.
We just happened to catch
this beautiful tree swallow.
These are just some of the interesting plants we saw during our hike.
Heading back down the trail. We hiked about 3.5 miles by the time we were done.What a beautiful day!
