Nature up close and personal

Today we visited a family run zoo and rescue. It was small but sweet. The kids got to see interesting animals but te best part was the end. My son Fox got to hold a baby fox. It was amazing to see that. Damian and Skyler got to play with and pet a baby deer. Sky cried all the way home for that little deer.

The best part for me besides seeing the kids so happy was this beauty. She is almost a year old and full blooded timberwolf. She is also up for adoption. Look at her, isn't she beautiful and magnificent? I can truly see owning this girl if I could afford to feed her that is. We also wanted to bring home the baby fox sadly he was not up for adoption. All in all it was a great little trip to an out of the way place.

The Nature Book For Our Travelers

For the cover we used a flower my son is holding. This is a little book we have made for our traveler friends for geography. You can see that blog here. We used things from our yard and things we gathered to make a little nature book. The pages are made from baggies and include leaves, bark rubbings some sand etc. The kids liked gathering things for these and enjoyed putting them together. We have had alot of fun with our travelers and enjoying sharing the nature of our area with them.  

A little nature project for our geography swaps.

This was a little nature idea to add to our geography swaps. You can check all that out on our travelin blog. We are taking different stuff, putting them into baggies with labels and are turning them into little books for our swap partners. Kids will enjoy making this and hopefully the person who gets them likes them too.
