I'll post pics later tonight, but we THOROUGHLY enjoyed Earth Day yesterday! A long walk and then we looked at all the actual leaves on the trees that Elise has been following as buds, found a birds nest, we have a bunny nest with a baby bunny in it in our backyard so we gently checked on that, checked the online bald eagle cam multiple times with 3 chicks and a mom in it, played outside ALOT, pulled all the fuzzy seedlings off the cat-tail on our walk, found a worm a put it back "to be with it's Momma", saw a couple of butterflies, tried to "catch a Robin", and attempted to collect all the "worms" that fell off our front tree when the leaves came. Elise spent 1 whole hour in the front yard collecting these seeds that fall from the tree. She was very serious and loving it all at once. While I was taking pics of her, Patrick must have grabbed one, I turned and he was munching away at something. I pulled it out of his mouth and it was one of the long wormy seed things. We just love love love that she's a nature girl!!!
All in all an AWESOME Earth Day :)
P.S. We did all of this while singing the "Days of the Week" song and "Zippity Do Da, Zippity EIGHT (aaay)" the whole day. Elise is so cute and funny and just sings all day long - makes me happy and feel like, despite the rough times, we're raising a happy little girl :)
