Huntley Meadows 2017

We have been waiting until the girls were old enough to walk the boardwalk without worrying that they might fall in. They loved the walk, especially the look-out observation tower which they used as a castle. We saw a lot of animals, more than normal, even baby beavers though those pictures didn’t really come out.

We saw a number of different reptiles. Here are a lizard and three snakes.

Amphibians, three kinds of frogs and three kinds of turtles if you look carefully you can see the turtle’s whole head.

And insects, we don’t have a picture of the dragonfly and butterfly, but we saw a lot. The spider is in front of our house.

Birds, we didn’t get a great picture of the ducks.

Curie’s Party

1-collages2

Curie’s party from a week ago. Thank you everyone who could attend, we didn’t have emails for everyone. While we couldn’t invite everyone, we did have a good Bright Horizons reunion shebang, Curie also had three friends from West Springfield Elementary, friends for just three days (there were four, but one couldn’t make it) and it was like they had been friends for as long as the others – thanks to their parents for letting them come too! We handed out light sabers and one parent said “oh, I see, have them jump to rile them up, pump them up with sugar, give them swords, and then send them home.” Another parent said “oh, I am so not okay with this!” Great party.
