Nature Day at Green Gorge with Both Boys

We changed things up a bit today. We woke up and it was 31 degrees but was supposed to get up to 70F by the afternoon. 

So we waited until after we picked up Isaac from preschool to do our nature hike and Isaac got to tag along. 

We chose Green Gorge because it’s a short hike and I knew Isaac could handle it. 

It also follows a creek the whole way, so I was pretty confident that Isaac would stay interested. 

Of course Jack wanted to run ahead the whole time and Isaac didn’t like being left behind, but he did the whole hike himself (even after sticking a foot in the water!).

The weather was perfect and now I know we can keep hiking this summer when Isaac is out of preschool. 

The focus of today's lesson was the plant life cycle. 

Jack’s favorite thing about seeds getting dispersed is that animals can eat seeds and poop them out later

Check back on Tuesdays to see where our nature studies have taken us...
