We spent the first part of the morning at the nature center, where they rescue animals that can't be returned to the wild. T got to see birds, wolves, coyotes, foxes, elk, deer, and a handful of other animals. Sadly, the bears were still hiberating so he missed them, but he seemed to have a great time nonetheless.
Poor T backed into this bear while we were there and jumped about a foot in the air. Once he realized it wasn't going to eat him, he begged to take pictures with it.
Afterward, we made our usual stops throughout town -- the toy store and the candy store are must-sees. I found geodes in the toystore, so I picked a couple up. I loved geodes as a kid. Still do, actually. I walked out of the candy store with half a pound of fudge that will not last long in this house. We wandered through town, then went down to the river, where hubby (his name is Joe, so I don't have to forever call him hubby) and T climbed on the rocks and had a snowball fight.
We drove some of the back roads and saw an abundance of deer and turkeys.
This one followed our car for a good 300 feet, and would repeatedly walk right in front of our moving car without a care in the world. They may be pretty, but no one ever said they had a whole lot of sense about them.
We made it back home just in time for dinner. It seems we visited just in time. The area we were in is now under a winter storm warning, which is supposed to hit sometime tonight.
Thankfully, our area seems to only be getting rain for the time being. I'm ready for spring!

What a fun day! I would have had to have one of those parenting moments where you want to be empathetic (oh, poor little guy, that bear scared you) and laughing my hiney off (because it really is funny when a stuffed bear makes your kid jump 10 feet). We always get fudge when we go to the mountains. So good!
Looks like an awesome family day!! Great photos, too.
