Ian’s Cub Scout Pack had an Enchanted Forest nature walk at Beaver Meadow Audubon Center in North Java. When we arrived, the Beaver Meadow Audubon Center was set up with carnival games, crafts, face painting, and treats. We spent a while playing games and winning informational cards that told us about the animals that live in the nature preserve. When it was our turn for the tour, we were taken along a pumpkin-lit path through the forest and met various animals that live in the forest. The animals (adults in costumes) told us all about their lives and we all learned a lot. After our walk was over, we were treated with cider and donuts.
You can see some of the jack-o-lanterns that dotted the path in this picture. I was told there were roughly 200 pumpkins along the path. I can’t imagine how long it took to carve that many pumpkins and light that many candles.
Playing a few games:
Matthew got his face painted like a cat. LOL
Having cider and donuts after the tour. Ian’s friend Rachel has an older brother in Cub Scouts so she was at the event too. She came with us on the tour.
Pooped out on the way home:
It was a lot of fun!
