Nature study story 9-17-11

I asked Kiera to tell me about our last nature outing at Peter's Canyon this past Thursday. Robert had the day off so he was able to join us, which was awesome because he helped with trail map reading and holding Domenic when he got tired. We walked 2 miles with the kids and they did awesome! There were a couple hilly parts along the way, but fortunately it was right after lunch so they were ready to go.

Story told by Kiera

On the way to Nature Studies I saw a crane. I saw scat on our nature studies. We also saw sunflowers kind of by the beginning.
And we also saw a frog, a flat frog. It looked like it was ran over by a bike or someone stepped on it.
Mom did you know that spiders have 8 eyes? Silas said spiders have 8 eyes and I looked in our book and I said, 'you're right Silas, spiders do have 8 eyes!'
And we also saw a red huckleberry and we also saw peppercorns when we sat down to eat our lunch.
We saw a road runner after lunch. We even got super close to it.
And we were walking towards a hill and we saw the biggest hill, we ran up it and we almost slid down it but we walked sideways so we didn't slip.
On the way back from nature studies, not on the road but on the trail, we heard a scratching sound, we thought it was a lizard in the bushes. And a little bit later we heard a sound like a beaver sound, but we didn't quite know what it was. We thought it was a beaver but we didn't know, like in k-n-o-w.

The end Mom
