the Wilds

We'd never taken the boys to The Wilds, a conservation center located on nearly 10,000 acres of reclaimed mine land in rural southeastern Ohio. We learned about the Federal Reclamation Act and artificial insemination and African painted dogs. And while Tuck may have taught the entire tour group everything he knows about hellbenders, Hank made fast friends with an ostrich.
I appreciated the reminder that not all the wild things live at my house, and the boys are already asking to go back.
