Blandford Nature Center Outing!

I got to meet Micah and Asher today at our nature outing!  We had a great time walking through the woods and looking at the changing trees.  We got to see owls, hawks, vultures, turtles, snakes, and a bobcat!  We hope that you can join us this Friday for our outing to the cider mill at Robinettes in Grand Rapids!  Here are some pictures from our outing today:
