Eagel River Nature Centre

It was a chilly autumn day in September. A few friends and I took the kids and dogs for a short hike at the Eagle River Nature Centre. It was a nice sunny day. Everyone enjoyed the hike including Java. She was quite interested in the fish swimming under the platform we were standing on. As you can see, winter is slowly approaching as the mountain peaks now have snow. It's only a matter of time before that snow reaches the base of the mountains.

Afternoon at the Park

It wasn't the nicest of days, a little rain, but that didn't stop us from having a little fun at the nearby playground. Nathan prefered to play with the rocks, until he realized he could climb!


We went down the big slides together, but Nathan accomplished the little slide all on his own. First time by himself. He climbed up, sat down, and pushed himself down the slide. He's a natural on the slide.

Nathan really wanted to climb the big kid stairs, but as you can see the first step is taller than half of his height. Once I lifted him beyond that step, he was good to go.
