Our own little amphibian

THe nature center has lots of interesting interactive things for kids and families to do. One of them is "Discovery Backpacks". Each backpack has a different theme and comes with lots of stuff to help learn about the theme. We chose the amphibian backpack this time because Nina loves frogs. It had books about frogs, coloring pages, frog collecting equipment, and a CD of frog noises (among other things). We were sitting down eating lunch and going through the backpack when we heard some strange noises and looked over to find Nina listening to the frog sounds CD...

Various interesting bugs we found along the way...

This is a katydid.

Those are Nina's fingers!!

This is a bee with lots of pollen stuck to its back.

Very little ant moving a very large bee.

Visit to the Chattahoochee Nature Center

We went on a walk at the Chattahoochee Nature Center this weekend and had a lovely time. Hannah was well prepared with a backpack ful of everything from a notebook to a first aid kit. She even used her beaver-made walking stick to retrieve a bottle from the river :)
