Mississippi Nature Immersion Day

 We decided to get out and enjoy the great outdoors for our last full Mississippi Day.  So we headed for a swamp.  It turns out that the middle of summer is not the perfect time to go venturing into a swamp unless one dresses in mosquito netting.  We did the twenty minute path in five.  But it was beautiful.

 An attempt at a group shot which Brian said was the worst possible idea because it meant standing still and when in a mosquito infested swamp one should never stop moving. So what we have is a blurry photo with swatting.  Good times.
 For the remainder of our nature experience we decided to take it inside of the lovely, air conditioned, Nature and Science Museum.  Very Natural as you can see.  Those white tails look like their coming right at you.
 Viola's favorite, Bones!
 And the absolute best part is the terrarium at the end full of turtles and fish.
 Watch out for this guy.
 Charlie practiced frog jumping.

 And we got to touch a bear.  Now that's Nature!
