Live Reindeer

The next day (Sunday, December 18th) the Chatahoochee Nature Center was having a live reindeer display. Ella was so excited to see real reindeer. Though it was a little bit chilly, it was a beautiful day to spend at the nature center.

Colin had to eat his lunch as we walked around

Ella loves this sculpture, The Two-Headed Donkey

At the Live Reindeer display

They were surprisingly large

So amazed!

After watching the reindeer for a bit, we walked around and did some crafts. The center had set up a lot of fun activities for the kids that day.

Here, Ella is making a hanging bird feeder (a bagel with shortening on it and sprinkled with seeds)

Ready to hang on a tree in our yard

Here is is stringing cheerios on a string for squirrels

Showing me her hanging squirrel feeder (she also made some "reindeer food" to sprinkle in our yard on Christmas Eve)

There were two reindeer antlers that the kids could touch

They even had a reading of Stranger in the Woods for the kids

Colin is a man on the move these days and didn't really sit for the story, but he sure did have fun!
