With how much rain we received last week, I didn't expect the trails to be open yet, but this morning I looked online and there was a special alert. Trails were open today! So we hurried outside and went to the Nix Nature Center to get an annual pass to the OC parks and did a little hiking and checked out all the wonderful things in the center. They have fossil digging, live snakes, a sand box with animal feet that you can make fake tracks, stuffed real animals that are common in the area, robot bats, a telescope and a few interesting native american indian artifacts. We stayed longer than I expected but when we were within a few feet of our car to leave it started to sprinkle. Now it is raining, and we are so happy we were about to get out and explore a little before the rain came back. The trails are most likely closed again. :)
