Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary

Posted in Bring the Kids, Green Bay, Wisconsin  on July 26th, 2008 by: Lisa

The Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  It is a 700 acre urban wildlife refuge.  The Sanctuary is open to the public year round and is a great place to take your kids.  Not only is it free, it is a ton of fun too!  It was started in 1935 as a waterfowl rehabilitation site.  It continues to receive over 3,000 injured, orphaned, and sick animals each year.  Their goal is to return as many animals back into the wild as possible.

There is a three story building there called Nature Education Center.  There are hands on animal pods, discovery rooms, and even an estuary room.  As you can see from a few of the pictures below, my kids truly enjoyed it!

The adults even got involved:

The Observation/Rehabilitation building has a conservation wing, live prey and waterfowl exhibits, animal nursery viewing, wildlife rehabilitation area, and shelled corn for sale to feed the waterfowl.  My kids love feeding the waterfowl.  At 50 cents a bag, you can’t go wrong!

If you are in the Green Bay Wisconsin area, this is a great place to take your children.  Besides the cost of the corn to feed the waterfowl, it is free.  There are 6.5 miles of trails you can hike besides the two buildings to check out.  You can picnic there too.  It is a great place to check out!

Travel Sites

Posted in Uncategorized  on July 24th, 2008 by: Lisa

As a user of Twitter, I often see people reaching out and asking one another who they should use for cheap flights, cars, airfare, etc.  I know I am always looking for the best deal out there for my family.  With four of us, it can get quite pricey.  I recently came across a cheap discount holidays site that if you are looking for vacation in the UK and want to save a few bucks, you should check out.  They have several links to sites that will give you quotes on everything you will need for the perfect vacation.  They have some links for places here in the United States like Las Vegas and Orlando too.  I think I even saw a link for Mexican vacations (we almost went to Mexico instead of Arizona this last Feb. but Arizona was cheaper).  They make it super easy for you to compare and for you to get the best deal since you are cutting out the middleman.  The site is super easy navigate and find what you are looking for so check it when researching your next vacation.
