We took a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park today! It was a wonderful experience. Even though Parker and Jonah are still so young, it was worth the work to go on this field trip. We picked up some Junior Ranger workbooks that will help us focus on certain aspects and areas of the park. We are blessed to be this close to one of the most beautiful places in America.

accomplished Outdoor Hour Challenge #1!
It was nice just walking and observing with the kids. I noticed things in our yard and neighbor’s yards that we usually pass by without paying attention. We talked about the birds we heard and they were excited to find some mushrooms at the base of one of the trees. We were all asking each other questions and they made notes and drawings of their observations.
