Every time we go to Dville to visit Gmama and Gdad P, we make our way into the woods. It is a wonderful family tradition. On this particular hike, we happened upon cousin Js "rabbit traps" he had set the day before. As usual, we returned from the woods with great memories, pockets full of acorns and rocks, and a bouquet of colorful leaves for Great Grandma Helen and Gmama.
My dear friend has a wonderful website called:
youroutdoorfamily.com. I grabbed these quotes from her site:
“Teaching children about the natural world should be treated as one of the most important events in their lives.”
- Thomas Berry
“Along with milk and vegetables, kids need a steady diet of rocks and worms. Rocks need skipping. Holes need digging. Water needs splashing. Bugs and frogs and slimy stuff need finding.” –
