We Followed Through - Nature Journal

So, here our the first drawings of our nature journals!  Thanks for checking back.  ;)  

Also, can anyone identify this vine in our yard?  Closest we could figure was noxious weed or grape...Bumpa?  Any ideas?

Gearing Up

Well, we've seen it done and heard about it and read about people doing it...  Now, Hobby Lobby is telling me that we should "just get started".  Haha.  We'll see what comes of "nature journaling"...if anything, I'll post some pictures.

Park Day

Saturday we decided to head to a nature conservation area.  Like a previous time, with Grandma, it was already mid-afternoon and a 20 minute drive to this new-to-us area.  So, we packed up some good food, drove through Wendy's for a burger to supplement and headed out.  What we forgot was that the prairie is much windier than in town and so, we were all a bit wind-whipped when we were done.  Also, forgot the pacifier for Miss T and she didn't want to be carried faced in and so she cried through most of the trail.  Consequently, Mama walked faster and kids got tireder...well, lesson learned.  Bring ear-gear, snacks for all and try again later.  It was a beautiful place and Kevin found the spot he would have settled if he had been a pioneer.  ;)  Here are some pictures of some wildlife and some sister love!  Enjoy!
