In November seven members and one guest took a field trip to Valley Nature Center in Weslaco.  It was a fabulous opportunity to see the facilities and learn about the opportunities they have for families and school children year round.  School groups can tour any time during the school year to see the turtles, birds, butterflies, plants, and more.  During summer months they sponsor camps for a variety of ages and interests.  They are especially proud of the camps they hold for children with disabilities, especially the camp they hold for children of the entire Valley who have diabetes. 

Following the introduction and viewing of the Nature Center displays, the group was given a private tour through the nature area.  Plants and wildlife were in abundance, but especially entertaining were the fresh water turtles in the pond.   It is a beautiful area , well worth visiting!

We all traveled to Nana’s after our visit to enjoy a fabulous lunch!
