CALEDONIA â Steve and Suzie Rottmann, and their three children, had never gone snowshoeing before.
The Oak Creek family saw a Facebook post about friends snowshoeing at River Bend Nature Center. They wanted to spend time outside, so they ventured out to 3600 N. Green Bay Road on Saturday to try it themselves.
âWe didnât even know it (River Bend) was here,â Steve Rottmann said. âWeâll be back; it was a ton of fun.â
Suzie Rottmann added that it was their wedding anniversary in a week, so this was an early celebration.
The Rottmanns arenât alone in coming out to River Bend this winter, as it has been a busy season for the center so far.
