Nature Science Center


We continued our Nature Challenge at the Nature Science Center this morning.  We got there right as they opened in an effort to beat the heat... and were mostly successful.



The NSC is one of our favorite places to visit, but today's scavenger hunt took us into the Zilker Nature Preserve as well - a place we had never taken the time to explore.


We followed the trail through a dry creekbed and up to an overlook where we could see the downtown skyline off in the distance.

It was starting to get a little warmer on the way down, so even though we took the "less challenging" route down we decided to stop for a water break and were entertained by Lincoln on his harmonica.


We finished off the morning with lunch at the dino pit where we helped uncover several sets of dinosaur bones and made some new friends.

All in all, a successful challenge!
