Nature Hike and Card Making

We went on a nature walk today and the kids had a blast.
Who knew throwing dirt clods would be so much fun? Boy's I guess!
We also climbed trees like it was nobodies business
and collected fall leaves for our card making art project later in the afternoon .
OOOOH ... and to top it all off Parker spotted a dead snake
skeleton that everyone needed to see and touch with a stick.
I'm pretty sure it is dead boys.
Mommy spotted the ever so uncommon dirty sock in the bushes, but no one even seemed to care. Exoskeleton SNOBS!
A baby Caterpillar too to make it complete.


The card making was for a Christmas card drive. The kids sat around the table for a good hour today cutting and pasting, coloring and drawing. You can either send in cards to the first link address or they make it simple and you can create a card with your own words of encouragement and even send a picture along too for a small donation. I'm talking like 2 bucks. If you are interested the links below will guide you.

In any case enjoy the pictures of the kids on there nature day.
