We'll enjoy pizza for dinner, work on nature art projects, visit with our animals, other fun activities, and culminating in a "night hike" on our trails. We'll end the evening with a light snack and fall asleep to an animated movie. In the morning we'll have a hearty breakfast and spend the rest of our time together with an early morning hike in search of wildlife.
