The curriculum that we are following this year, My Father's World, incorporates a time to spend outside in Nature each Wednesday. We are just heading to local parks with notebooks and pencils in hand to journal the children's "finds." Yesterday we headed to Riverside Park where the kids played for a few minutes and then we walked around a paved path in the gorgeous sunshine. Because most of my children are too small to understand the concept of "nature finds," we are just focusing on getting out into God's creation, even if it is just to soak in some Vitamin D.
The best part of yesterday's Nature Time was Dante literally getting stuck in the tire swing. I have not laughed that hard in awhile. It actually took me and one other lady to "unstick" him. How funny. The littles were chucking acorns at him while he was vulnerable. Nothing like a great opportunity for a lesson in compassion.
Love,
Amy
