Yesterday was another Camp Arrowhead day for Annie, and again she had a ball. Hiking day is always one of Annie's favorites, but today there was a bit of a twist...they cleaned up the woods as they hiked. They managed to gather up over 100 pounds of trash!

nature, and lectures, and black bears...oh my
One of our local favorites, Tinker Nature Park, held their Earth Day Celebration this past Saturday. So off the kids and I headed. (Rich couldn't join us because he was off at "soccer coach school".)
We made sure we were there in time for the Black Bear Presentation. Master Gray has long been a fan of the bear, in all its species forms. However, had I realized how long the presentation was going to be, we probably would have skipped it. It was really aimed more at adults than at young kids. But Gray amazed me...he sat totally captivated for the entire hour! (Even Max did okay, though he got a little squirmy and came up in my lap for a bit.)
Afterwards, we just headed off on a little hike through the park. Always good to blow off a little steam after having your butt planted for so long, right?
