Nature Day



We went to our first Nature Day with our local homeschool group. It was a beautiful "winter" day here in Texas. I think the temperature was near 70.

Some of the things we did:
  • watched finches at the birdfeeder
  • sketched near the water
  • watched a garter snake slither by the pond (see photo)
  • used nets to scoop water in the pond (caught a snail's shell)
  • observed a lethargic bee up close
  • 3 mom's stepped in a "surprise" present from a dog (including me!)
  • used binoculars - a lot!
  • ate lunch outside
  • made new friends
It was a lot of fun and we both can't wait until our next monthly Nature Day!
P.S. After seeing the snake, we checked out the book "S-S-Snakes! by Penner, a Step Into Reading Book Level 2
