We checked out the nature center that is right down the road during one of the days we were house-camping. First we had to go shopping for our picnic lunch.

Then we checked out the beautiful nature center:

And finally, the wonderful outdoor play space:

![Mud bath](https://mommie2zs.com/content/images/wordpress/2013/08/Ginnies-Phone_000751.jpg?resize=580%2C773&ssl=1)
![Yup, the mud won this one.](https://mommie2zs.com/content/images/wordpress/2013/08/Ginnies-Phone_000753.jpg?resize=580%2C435&ssl=1)
We learned the location of the hose for cleaning off after the nature play area, and we learned to take an extra change of clothes and wear shoes that can splash in the mud.
Great times ahead!
