Exploring Nature

This morning, Landon and I went on an outing to the Environmental Nature Center in Newport Beach. In particular, I wanted to check out their Butterfly House.
Heading into the Butterfly House...
Although I was expecting something bigger, it was the perfect size for Landon.
It was an interesting experience having butterflies flutter all around us.
They have a few different species of butterflies.
"Hmmm, I wonder if I can catch this one?"
My little explorer was also examining the dirt, ants and rocks. :)
After the Butterfly House (which you can see in the background), we went for a little walk.
It was rather warm, so we stopped for a drink and snack, before heading into the building to check out the...
SNAKES!
All in all, it was a nice outing that didn't even cost a penny (except for gas).
