Blue Hills, Milton, Ma. September 3, 2011

A brief tour of the animals followed by a hike to the Summit Observation Tower, and then a very vigorous hike descending down South Skyline Trail. A quick dip at Houghton's Pond, then back up the Mountain and the same Trail although this time we had to climb! Great Workout! And then a quick stop at the Tower again before we are off once again, to get to the car before Dusk, we just made it!

We had dinner at a Chinese Restaurant in Stoughton before returning home for the night!

The River Otters...Always my Favorite as a kid, and still are,
I can watch these guys swim and flip and do tricks
all day and all night!!!

Turtles!!!

This used to be the cage for the Red Tailed Fox,
he was replaced by a Turkey Vulture...
Really? NOT COOL!

Owl's

"Quack! Quack!"

Deer

How does a Snow Owl replace a Bobcat???
Really??? Again!
NOT COOL!
