Nature Walk

Jacob told me this morning that he really wanted to go for a walk and take pictures of nature. The best "nature" we have around here is the pond, so we set out after lunch to find some.

Right off the bat Em found a beautiful white feather. Big surprise as there are a million ducks around here!

Austin liked this duck. He promptly chased it into the water as soon as I took his picture!

Look really hard and you can see a black and white duck to the left of Jake. He thought it was very different.

Austin made sure we got a picture of this goose and all his ladies. He hisses at you if you come near!

Two ducks who have only been out of their eggs for a little while! The kids liked them a lot!

About half way through our nature walk I noticed all the weeds and trees had lots of seeds. We started collecting them and talking about how plants reproduce. When we got home Austin glued all the weed seeds on one side of the paper and the tree seeds on the other. Pretty Cool!

Jacob Says:

"We just went on a nature hunt and then we found a lot of seeds and then we put them on a chart. We just love seeds planted. We just love to see all the nature and the stuff of beauty and the stuff of coolness."

Emma Says:
"I love because we got seeds and the other seeds and I love every seed we picked. I love everything. Ducks was my favorite part."

Austin Says:

"I liked the geese the best."
