We made the 40 minute trip to the Brukner Nature Center to drop off the baby chipmunk to the wildlife rehab center for treatment. I am sad to report that our sweet chipmunk didn't make it through the night. We were all so sad and Claire even shed a few tears, but I wouldn't give up that great life lesson for anything!
Since we were already there we decided to take a tour of the nature center and look at some of the animals they have there! It is such a wonderful facility that truly helps wild animals in need!
The girls outside the wildlife rehab center. Claire is holding the chipmunk in a shoebox! 
The girls walking into the nature center! So sweet! 
We got there right as they were beginning a talk on the red-tailed hawk. It was very interesting and educational!
Touching the feathers of a hawk!
Anna in front of a rehabilitated red-tailed hawk that has been a resident of Bruckner for almost 20 years. She broke her wing and is no longer able to fly. What a beautiful ambassador! 
Anna touching a turtle!
This was a WILD squirrel! The girls enjoyed watching his crazy antics! 
A very neat nature table. Grammy started a nature table with the girls at her house a while back and has some pretty cool things as well!
Tarzan & Jane (or two Janes, I guess!). 
A very loud bull frog! So much to see in God's amazing creation!
