Nature Hour Challenge #1

At long last, we have completed a nature hour challenge! We walked over to a nearby pond and then followed the shoreline for a bit. I saw a bird grab a fish out of the water and fly off. Unfortunately the kids missed it, they were watching a horse. They did find several flowers and some "sticky plants" (thistles). Jonathan found a small earthworm. David found a cool stick / log that was white from being in the water. Andrew decided to do the farmer thing and stuck a grass blade out from his teeth. Overall we had a good time, and the kids were VERY observant.
