4/17/13 nature hike

While sitting on Tarantula Hill, across from our house, reading "Educating the Wholehearted Child" I got to watch Ellie and Josiah interact with nature.

On the way up we got hot, met another hiker and Ellie saw a snake slither away into the brush.

Ellie and Josiah brought their bug book and their bug catching tools.  Josiah caught a fly but when he opened his bottle to show me, it flew away!  After perusing their bug book for a bit they settled into playing soldiers until we made the trek back down the hill.

Look at this mom!

There is some more stuff growing right here - take my picture with it!

"Look, isn't it pretty?!"

Another beautiful display of God's creation
