Saturday was a beautiful day. Matt had found this conservation center online he thought would be pretty neat  so we decided to pack up and check it out.


They have a shooting range $3 per hour for a lane, as many ppl as you'd like. You can also shoot skeet for less than you can buy it at the store, and you get to use their fancy auto thrower. It was pretty sweet.
 Heath grabbed his gun, and shot while Matt got in line and got checked in. It was super loud with all the guns going off, but Heath thought it was super cool.  After he got his fill we left Daddy to shoot and went to explore the conservation center.
 Sadly the center is closed on Saturdays, but we just walked around and found some pretty nice spots.
 We had some snacks.
 Watched the butterflies dancing in the butterfly garden.

 Smiled.
 Laughed at silly Houston.

 Explored.
 Followed.
 Enjoyed.
 Around the back of the building they had a huge porch
 with 10 hummingbird feeders. 
They were buzzing around everywhere. I tried to count and stopped at 35 on the feeders at one point. 

 It was really breathtaking.

 They were so tame. We were right next to the feeders and they were just buzzing all around our heads.
 The boys were playing and yelling and being crazy but it didn't seem to bother the birds at all.

 They are such beautiful birds. 
 My Grandma Rees loved hummingbirds. It always reminds me of her to see them. She would have loved this. : )
