I love that nature teaches with very little help from me.
On a trip to the Keystone Dam we were able to watch this line of Heron’s fishing.
My younger ones seemed the most awestruck by this.
Such a simple but beautiful lesson.
I am thankful that when I am at a loss the outdoors will bring teachable moments.
When I am not sure what else to do but we need a change of pace, we visit the ducks at a local lake.
Sometimes we grab a slushie from Sonic and just drive out there for a quick hello.
Sometimes, like this day. We stay for a picnic.
And take a walk along the path.
Lakes just slow life down and calm you.
At least me.
Now if I just lived in Minnesota I would always be calm because of being surrounded by lakes…
*Updated with pics of Little Bit
I was going to do a school post but lost the pictures.
I usually keep them organized by month and subject but I must have been lazy and put them in the wrong folder…
I take way too many pics to be lazy like that.
They have now disappeared into a black hole and I may never do a post on what books we read for the middle ages.
So instead, I am sharing zoo pictures.
This Rhino decided to go around their barriers to get to the ornamental grass they had growing.
The plus side was we got to see him REALLY close!
You know it is hot when I buy one of those icey drinks…
It was nice but I wish they had fruit flavors.
So if you read this Tulsa Zoo, please at fruit juice to your list.
Thank you.
Ha!
This bear looked like he was using his floaty as a kick board.
Appropriate since the boys are taking swimming lessons every day.
I will be really excited when they end in a few weeks by the way!
I am not programmed to get kids all out the door every morning.
Also, I consider summer to be my break…
Update!!!
I found my missing pics.
They were on my other camera.
Carry on.
