mini field trip

We are lucky to have a wildlife preserve within walking distance of our house and last Sunday they held a free educational event teaching kids about how to protect the watershed area that we live in.  A couple friends tagged along with us and we got to pretend for the day that we had 8 kids instead of 6 :)

After all the activities we did a mini hike through the woods and watched the turtles in the lake.  Addie found this large (for her) walking stick and insisted on using it instead of  the more appropriately sized one her sister offered her.  She's pretty cute :)
