Our Day at the Park

Olivia's nature class ended up being canceled at the last minute, so we decided to have our own nature class.

We headed to the park with our camera, bird book, and wildflower book.

Georgia found a flower and looked it up. Seems to be a Spring Beauty.

The next one wasn't as easy to find. Georgia said she thinks it may be a Wild Geranium. We'll have to come back and check again when it has grown a bit.

We saw a Mute Swan.

We thought this female mallard was pretty cute. Who is she yelling at?

This guy...

We saw lots of Mallard Ducks.

and some Cananda Geese, too

We watched this guy grooming himself. First the left side...

then the right.

We weren't able to identify this guy, and we've never seen him before.

If anyone knows, please tell us!

The girls wanted a picture in front of the gazebo that they enjoy.

Olivia is checking out the tiny leaf buds on the tree.

Georgia, too

a few daffodils...

And finally....the playground!!!

The girls first tried the balance beam and the bars...showing off their gymnastic abilities! They climbed the "mountain", tackled the slides, swings....

By this point, I was on the bench resting my foot. My favorite was watching them on this....

First Georgia would run and turn it and jump on.

Then Olivia gave Georgia a ride!

I thought that was so sweet of them taking turns!

They had a blast! (Me too)
