I am just going to go ahead and assume most of my blog posts during the summer months are going to be about the activities we partake in.
Today's activity: Nature Hunt
I don't know how the idea came to me, I just know Addy got super excited at the mention of it so off I went whipping one up.
I thought of things she might find on a nature walk, printed some pictures to glue into a booklet, and found a bag for her to keep her findings in. For anyone thinking a nature hunt is a good idea, DO NOT include a feather as an item to find. I thought it would be an easy one... not so much. And of course a feather was the only item she REALLY wanted to find. We went home featherless but I have promised we would search again another time and I have no doubt she'll hold me to it.
As with any outside activity, bugs got in the way. Addy is terrified to put it mildly and she was sprinting away from every ant, dragonfly or "crawly thing" that came her way. I am not sure how to overcome this fear but I hope the more I make her get in the middle of it, the faster she'll learn to not be afraid. Either that or she'll get stung by a bee and hate my guts forever.
I didn't have time to take many pictures as I was on bug and stroller duty but here are a few shots from our hunt.
Sincerely Yours,
