Turtle Bay Exploration Park - Part 2 The Fun Part!
To say that the kids enjoyed this part is an understatement! They really enjoyed this place and we could have probably stayed longer but the time was not bad, we got to see all that we wanted to, without doing things over (not that the kids didn't want to go back and do things again!). The best part for the kids was the Paul Bunyon fun camp. They really enjoyed the water feature that was a flume type thing that they could control the flow of the "river" and make a waterwheel turn and so on...
My favorite part was the bird house where we were able to feed the cockatiels and the parakeets, and of course the butterfly house was cool too. I, of course, got photos of both kids with the parakeets but the butterflies were not doing a lot of landing at the time we were there, maybe too early, not sure. But one of the workers noticed that Kaleigh really wanted to hold a butterfly and she found one to have Kaleigh hold, very nice, don't you think? If you are wondering about the banner behind the kids, in the first photo, that was a new part of the museum that had all sorts of planetary information about planets and stars and how they form and what they are made up of, that sort of thing, not much to do with aliens...weird advertising if you ask me. Maybe there will be more later... who knows. We know that it was a fun time!

Looks like a lot of fun. Trevor & Diana always liked the nature stuff when we could do it. Connor... not so much. He tends to be a little rambunctious for something like this. Maybe when he's a little older?
Wow, you did a much better job of documenting your vacation than my recent entry. It took a while to get all caught up. :-)
Sounds like a great trip. I wish we had known about that Turtle Bay Exploration Park the last time we went to Oregon. Sounds like it might not be as much fun for the kids now that they are older.
Thanks for the updates!
