Nature Fest Photo Gallery

My family and I attended Nature Fest 2013 at the Effie Yeaw Nature Center and had a great time! This Sunday is Nature Fest 2014, so I thought I’d share these photos with you to give you and idea of what it’s like. Wild Things had so many neat wild animals to show us and we learned a ton of very fascinating things about them! The kids participated in activities the vendors offered and even made abalone necklaces. We took a break and had a snack from a food truck and shared some Italian ice. We spent some time in the nature center looking at exhibits, got up close and personal with more animals, and then took a nature walk. While on our walk we spotted a mama and baby deer. It was a fun and inexpensive day in the great outdoors!

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
