Our House

Nature Area

I put together a little area for the boys to put their treasures they find when outside!

I have wanted something like this for a little while but finally took the plunge a couple days ago after looking at beautifully done nature tables on Pinterest.

I pinned them to my “school” board.

I am so glad I was able to fit everything I wanted in a small space!

You do not need a bigger house to have fun spaces just think outside the box!

Instead of a table I used a crate.

As a bonus it is cute and has shelves!

Oxley Nature Center, Tulsa OK

The Mary K. Oxley Nature Center has some beautiful trails.

It is located in Mohawk park next to the zoo.

They do get very messy if it has been raining a lot and some even disappear all together so it is best to go when it has been dry.

With the abundance of water you get to see a lot of wildlife.

Some I prefer seeing from a distance.

They have lookouts to view birds from and a pretty nice nature center.

Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge ~Vian, OK

We went to the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge for the first time back in February of 2009 for the eagle watch tours.

My boys were so tiny!

I believe the tours run in January and February.

Then and Now!!!

We stopped by the refuge on the way to Beavers Bend State Park for my birthday this month.

They have several nature trails.

We were only able to go on one before it started POURING!

He was concerned she would hurt her feet on the rough metal bridge…

So of course I took pictures of him carry our very heavy dog over a very wobbly bridge!

They have an auto tour that we like to drive on.

We saw, ducks, geese, hawks, and an owl.

It is a really pretty refuge!

If you live nearby be sure to check it out!

Especially during the upcoming months when the Eagles will be there.

Next time I want to be sure and bring binoculars for the boys to use!

I think they would have more fun on the auto tour that way.
