Day 3

Didn't have to go to the zoo until after lunch again, so this morning was about a little adventure. Kari took me to a walking trail along the river not too far from the house, and she and the girls joined me for a little jaunt.

The girls played along and did the Lewis and Clark pose for me:

It was a fun little trip, and walking around taking photos is always relaxing for me. I love walking around outdoors, and it was actually a bit cooler this morning than it has been the past couple of days.

The girls kept picking up different leaves and plants:

Then on our walk back to the car, we stumbled upon a bunch of snails on the trail. Hannah was brave and held one just like me :-)

Next, we made a little trip to the Johnston Public Library before lunch, where the girls found some books, and I perused through the magazine Outdoor Photographer.

On to the zoo in the afternoon. Main project for the day was going through all the closets in our classrooms and taking an inventory of supplies. Here's just a shot of one set of things that we went through:

Then we did a little more brainstorming on ideas for our camps, and finished up by Kira coming and talking to us about some policies and an overview of ordering supplies. It's been kinda rainy all afternoon and gotten chillier throughout the day, so it was a good afternoon to spend inside.
