Nature Scavenger Hunt

We went for a walk on a trail near our house today, and did a scavenger hunt. 

We found:
smooth
green (too easy! haha!)
a seed (pine nuts)
a weed
a flower
edible (pine nuts)

 signs of erosion

signs of fall coming
a reflection in the water

 signs of animals being there (see the bird poop?)
I didn't take pictures of the trash that indicated people had been there.

We looked for something twisted, but didn't find that one.

 On the way home, we stopped at Walmart, so they could get a drink.  I had to stay outside with the dog, so E went in by herself to pay for the drink. 

A was on my back in the carrier the whole time, so I didn't get a picture of her.  Here's a picture of her at home.

Perspective Thursday- A Walk in the Dark

On Perspective Thursdays I am going to post things from my kids' perspective.  This week I have pictures.  Other weeks I may do things like ask them questions and post their answers.


We went for a walk in the dark this evening and E asked to bring the camera.

E took this picture that shows the shadows of myself, L and Z.

E took this one.

L took this one of the 8 on the Super 8 motel.

L took this picture of the gravel.

E took these last two of our neighbor's halloween decorations. 

Numbers, numbers eveywhere!

We live in a mobile home park now and of course every trailer has a number on it. We pointed this out to E and she names them off now and then as we drive by. Today we went for a walk and started out by trailer #1 with the intention of walking around the whole park until we had seen all of them (about 100 I think). We ended up stopping at ours, #46, but it was a nice walk and we'll probably do the rest another day.

Here are some pictures we took while we were out.
