We also got to see all of the snakes, frogs and turtles that they have in the nature center! Declan LOVED an enormous Bullfrog! The owls and hawk were awake as well - Declan totally loved that the owls kept turning their heads all the way around!

Potomac Overlook Park
Declan and I took an afternoon stroll through Potomac Overlook Park. Soon enough it will be too cold to enjoy these kinds of outings - we've got to enjoy the summer while we still have it! We also had an exciting encounter - we got to see a baby flying squirrel that had landed on a man's shoulder and refused to leave! The naturalist rescued it and will send it to a rehab facility. Declan named it "Pumpkin" the flying squirrel.

Field Trip with Emmy
Today I went with Emmy and the second grade to Potomac Overlook Park. It's pretty close to the school, so we walked over and back. It was fun!! The kids got to touch a snake and a turtle, learn about Native Americans who lived in the area and watch a spear throwing demonstration! It was great to be able to go with them!!

Potomac Overlook Park
A few weeks ago we went over to the Potomac Overlook Park that is right around the corner from our house. I totally forgot about taking the pictures off of my camera until I downloaded some other pics yesterday! OOOHHH the problems of having two cameras!! :)
We had a great time. There is a little nature center with some turtles, snakes and a hive of bees that Declan was particularly infatuated with! We visited with the rescue owls and hawk and then took a walk through their garden and what used to be an orchard. It was a pretty low key morning but perfect for a hot summer day!

Looking at recycling paths:
"BUSIES!"" AKA Bees
Headed towards the owls
In the bird house:
In the garden - safe from the deer. A 10 foot high fence surrounded the whole garden and there were deer right outside!

Butterfly bush!
More like a overgrown clearing but whatevs!
