We are excited to announce that Fridays are upstairs adventure days!!!!  Our first Friday of the school year, we packed up the van, and headed to FIVE RiVERS where the kids tromped through the famous beaver path. 

While hiking the path we spotted frogs, beautiful acorns (Mike Berry uses these for his math lessons! ), and a great blue heron.  We stopped long enough at each new turn to really enjoy the crisp air and watch to see if the leaves where really ready to turn vibrant shades of yellow, red, and orange. 

The kids enjoyed seeing the owl inside the center, but were more captivated by the dead garter snake that was found on the path.  Everyone gathered to sing 'dear ones' and they had an inpromtu burial near its spotting!  These kids are amazing curious people!  It is always fun to spend time with th 3-5 year olds out in the world!
