Nature Study

It had two weeks since our last visit because we were all traveling last week. The leaves were falling the last visit so we didn't know what to expect and almost didn't come. This is why a "charlotte mason" method of nature study should be done each week. We were in for a surprise.  I feared that the park would be depressing, knowing the leaves would be gone. 

Instead we could see to the very tops of the hills and lowest parts of the valleys. There was no foliage in our sight paths.  It was really interesting. We saw lots of life, including people. We knew there were paths all over but never saw people up in the hills until today. 

AT first we thought the deer were gone but we found two hanging out near the elk. 

We saw lots of animals. The elk seam to be calmer and more separated.

We saw some here, some there and even two by themselves. 

Geese were not in the pond but walking around tighter.

The Bisson were all together around the middle sized body of water. 

I love two things about the above picture! One is that Miss Brenda is joining us each week. She is enjoying this as much as we are. One of us drives and then the other does internet searches when we have questions. We are learning so much.

Check out all the ducks, they were all over the bigger lake. They were so small in the pictures but covered the body of water. We also saw a beautiful woodpecker with a red head. No rabbits and no squirrels. The temperature was a warm 73 degrees and it was windy.

Fall seams to be a great time to see activity around the lake. The elk are still in mating season, so they are everywhere and found in groups of mostly cows with one bull.

The leaves were hanging on to the trees but some were bare. 

It was fun to drive around the bodies of water and to see the pops of color.

All while noticing the elk, bison, deer hiding just out at the edge of the trees. 

The best part is these two. Twin Beautiful - Twin Mallorie.

I love that color. And it would be surprising just around the corner each turn. We saw no turkey but we saw lots of squirrels. The temp was 65 degrees. It was a beautiful afternoon to drive around the park.

One of the fun things that has been happening around here is that the twins have enjoyed fixing dads hair.

Dad stocked up on treats to reward his hair dressers before we were on lock down. Twin Beautiful will work very hard for those treats.

Impromptu Tea Party

The twins got tea sets for Christmas but have not been able to use them much. They decided that today was the day. They were not waiting any longer. 

The tea was made and the sisters sat down to enjoy!

Sister are the best. When you have a lot of them you can through an impromptu tea party with many guests.

Lego Challenge

What do you do with homeschool kiddos that usually get to go to parks and to swim at the Rec Plex for exercise but are now completely trapped at home. Well Pooker send us a text message with a Lego Challenge attached. We decided to give it a go. Not every day interested them at all. They tried some of them. I loved watching them work very hard to create. We won't win any Lego contests right now but they did have fun.

Today was the last one that the girls wanted to do. I keep taking pictures because I love that they tried many of them. They were so creative and had so much fun. I loved watching the different things that these two came up with.
