The Great Outdoors

After a long winter away, we decided to take advantage of the spring like weather we are having in early March. I am loving it!

We headed across town to a nature park to pick up some letterboxes.

This park was so great. Lots of wetlands and plenty of opportunities for teaching! The neatest things we saw all day long were trees that the beavers were trying to take down. The park ended up cutting them off into stumps. Such a neat learning experience as we read how they make their homes. We also saw a pond with lily pads and lots of turtles.

The park was so fun. Wish it was just a tad closer to the house. But it will make for a fun field trip in the years to come.
