Adventures in Nature

-

Maeve and Owen had the fabulous opportunity to attend a week long day camp at the Ogden Nature Center.  They had an absolute blast hiking, exploring, playing, making crafts, and getting good and dirty while learning about nature and natural and biosocial sciences.  I think their favorite day was the last day when they had a night hike, night games, and a hot dog and s'mores campfire cookout with all of their new camp friends.  

Of course, John and I couldn't let them have all the fun so we spent a few happy summer mornings playing at the children's play park inside the Ogden Nature Center.  




We couldn't let the summer outdoor fun end with camp so we had fun raising and releasing 6 Painted Lady butterflies.  Release day is everyone's favorite day!

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
