West Rock Nature Center

We had no classes at White Memorial or The Beardsley Zoo, but we were happy to fill our Thursday learning about nature anyway, this time with our friends from playgroup. We learned about Insects and Arachnids with Ranger Wray at West Rock Nature Center. Ranger Wray is a really funny guy; R especially loved his sense of humor. He did a terrific job showing off all the animals in the nature center, and the kids got to touch many of them. The highlight though, was definitely watching the salamander and the frog each eat the crickets Ranger Wray put in their tanks. Very cool stuff.

Hard to believe such a nice area exists within New Haven. I need to stop comparing cities here to New York.
