Trailside Museum

Staying busy here! After a long day at the beach with friends earlier in the week, we stuck close to "base camp" today and went to a local nature center. Brenna had a few things about animal habitats that she needed to finish for a Girl Scout badge so I figured this was a perfect way to fit that in as well. I hadn't been to the Trailside Museum since I was a kid and everything was just as I remembered it. We saw the few outdoor animals they have and then spent just over an hour at the indoor exhibits. Molly enjoyed the turtles (and conned me into buying her a stuffed one - must be the only animal she doesn't own!) and Brenna really liked the owls and honeybees. I promised we'd go back some day (when we were wearing better shoes!) so we could take a long hike on one of the many trails through the Blue Hills. I remember the thrill of reaching the big observatory at the top and being able to see the Boston skyline right out to the Harbor Islands and I know the girls would really enjoy that too!
