Exploring Nature

Autumn is the perfect time for getting out in nature. It's not incredibly hot and it's easy to see the changes taking place and let kids lead the way and the conversation.

We always start with a lot of energy and no one really paying attention to the surroundings. 

Then they see something. In this case, a tree where part of the branches have bark and part of them don't.  

Can we climb into the creek? Absolutely! Yes, we are in a drought. 

They did try to pick up a coupe of the roots. That just led to another great conversation.  

In case you think we are just wandering, we are clearly on a marked trail. The fact that the trail arrows are pointing at each other just made me laugh.
