Teatown Lake Reservation is a huge nature preserve, which holds an annual fall festival. I couldn't get Mikro or Kevin interested in the many fun craft activities they had, but we did go on a tour of their bird of prey rehabilitation area, enjoyed the many reptiles and amphibians in the lodge, walked around the grounds, bought farm fresh apples, and bribed a reluctant Mikro into experiencing his first hay ride. (Heh, the bribe was a set of plastic figures illustrating the lifecycle of the ladybug, which is what he picked from the gift shop. Gotta love homeschooled science nerd kids!) I went too, since they require a parent for kids under six.
Of course, by the time the ride was over, he was having a meltdown because "I don't want to get off! I want to go again!" and, given the hundred or more people on line, that wasn't gonna happen...
We found a squooshed wooly bear caterpillar on the trails, and brought him home, hoping he'd recover, but sadly, poor Wooly Bully (which Mikro pronounces Pully Wully) did not make it.
