Acorns

The children are always creating some new concoction outside from things they find in the yard, along the hedges or on walks.  The other morning whilst walking the neighbor's dog (a paying job of Kylie's), we decided to see how our local oak tree was coming along.  The kids enjoyed gathering up the acorns and planning how to use them.  We'll leave out some extra food for the squirrels this winter!

 

 

 

 

 

Nature Center

We visited our local nature center last week for a fun romp to see the critters and so the kids could bring in their nature finds for the Nature Exchange.  Shea had found a lizard skeleton below the tree in our yard and Kylie had collected [dead] cicadas in several forms.  The children have been banking points for some time and have accumulated quite a few!  Both decided to exchange some points for the first time today.  Shea chose a boar's lower jaw bone (why not, right?) and Ky a handful of interesting shells.  Kylie colored sand for a jar to display her shells once we returned home.  It was a lovely day!
