Jul. 28, 2008 - Nature Scavenger Hunt
I grew up in the country, and would love for my children to also. However, we are very blessed in many ways where we currently live, in town, and one of those is that we have a forest preserve right across the street! The area across the street does not have trails, which I almost prefer. Seems more "raw" that way, ya know? hehe. Anyway, today we did a nature scavenger hunt over there that I got from here (for free!). It was a lot of fun! Here are some pics from our adventure:
Above: Israel and I, all ready to go. He prefers this method of exploring nature right now. He isn't crazy about tramping through the brush on his own yet! (Tomorrow I will be 32 weeks along!)
Below: our list and some of our finds:

Below: A few other pics of our discoveries:
1. A Dragonfly
2. A beetle (we have yet to identify it - is it a Japanese beetle?)
3. Pretty effective camoflauge!!
4. Dead tree trunk with markings of ?? (we plan to identify this later too.. .:)
