Feathers, Rocks and Leaves

Ella said this morning that she wanted to go on a "nature hunt". So, after lunch and before naps this afternoon, we went over to the pond to feed the ducks and explore along the creek. On the way over, Ella saw a school and kids playing on the playground. She related to me that she does not like school...She said she was afraid kids would push her down. I am not sure where this came from....Then I heard her talking to herself and this is what she said... "Think, think, think" (this is what Winnie the Pooh says). "God, would I like to go to school?" She waits for a moment and then says, "No, okay". That was it.

We had a great time on our nature hunt. We fed ducks, well, Ella fed the ducks and Caleb just ate the old bread, and we then played along the creek finding treasures, walking sticks and throwing things into the creek to see what would float or sink and what it sounded like when it plunked into the water. Great fun! These are a few things Ella collected on her nature hunt.
