Nature Study Monday - Mary Jo Peckham with Daddy!

We had a special visitor with us this Monday since it was Labor Day.  Robert wanted to come see what we do on these nature walks and of course I used that as an excuse to let the big boys go fishing.  Since fish hooks were going to be involved, I was happy to take the twins around the pond to look for baby ducks.  Rob and the big boys fished for awhile and then we played on the playground.  We had to leave after a couple hours because it got too hot but I think fun was had by all.

Cooper caught a perch and got a lecture about using too much worm on his hook.

Rob showing the twins the worms.  Graham: "They have dirt on them!"

They really wanted to see the baby ducks and pet them.  I told them they could but Mamma duck might peck them since those are her babies.  They decided to not chance it.

Marshall wore all black and soon was very hot.

They were fascinated with seeing the sunlight through the trees.

Graham wanted to know if the duck nest he saw three weeks ago was still there. It was although, the eggs were not.

Barrett: "It like Daisy duck!"
