Just Stay Cool! - June 23rd and July 21st
Blazing Texas summers can be tough on wildlife, plants, and people.
Animals and plants have come up with amazing ways to stay cool
under soaring temperatures. Living underground, panting, and
hunting at night are just a few ways to beat the heat. Weʼll take our
cue from the animals and wait until weʼre under the cool of dusk to
take our hike!

Prehistoric Prairie - June 30th and July 28th
Trumpeting, wild elephants, roaring lions, and speedy cheetahs. Where in the
