A trip to the park to get in some nature

The kids still have colds and B is still moving a little slow but I really wanted to get out of the house for a little bit so I thought, it’s Friday, let’s go spend some time in a park with nature.  The kids seem to always enjoy doing this.  We brought all we needed to check out the nature around us.  We had the “bug looker”,  binoculars,  a butterfly net,  our nature journal, paper and colored pencils, etc.  We had a nice time. I wish it was a little cooler but we did pretty well.

Brian tired very hard to catch a either a butterfly or a dragonfly but had to settle instead on a little beatle walking on the path.  It worked out fine.  🙂


Little Miss J did pretty good drawing this flower for a 4 year old!  I was impressed!
We’ve only just started nature journaling this year.  I put everything in one binder for now.  I have divided sections for each of them and a pouch to hold stuff to draw with and to collect things with.  We’ll see how it goes. I’d like to do this at least once a week if we can. We are doing KONOS Attentiveness next which is a lot of nature stuff it should be good.  Will be easier too getting out in the cooler fall/winter weather down here.

 

J got a scooter for her 4th birthday last month and we hadn’t taken them out yet (away from the driveway in front of the house).  Today was the first of many time. I love how light and easy they are to bring along.  I get exercise too walking along with them in the park
