Brent came home early from school the other day with the brilliant idea to take the girls on a nature hunt. We drove to the start of a trail that would take us through two covered bridges and a tunnel. When we parked the car, we asked the girls to look around outside and help us make a list of the things we might see on our nature walk. With our list in hand, and a camera in each girl’s hand, we set out to find everything on our list.
Our list: We added to it as we saw new things like the water and little rocks
After looking at all the pictures, which item on our list did we NOT find? There was only one.

Such a great idea! We’ve been dying to go for a hike and this would be a great idea for it. Thanks
This is a fabulous idea to get the kids excited & involved in a hike!
I cant tell really well but I think you didnt find any bugs?
Great idea to get out of the house and challenge them to look around more closely!
Mindy~
Yes, Mindy. It was the bugs. We couldn’t find a single one. We even turned over leaves and kicked rocks
It was just too cold for them to be out.
And it did a great job of keeping them interested in the walk. It wasn’t terribly long, but they would have lost interest much sooner (I know because I’ve walked it with them before!) so the list and the hunt were great motivators.
That was a ton of fun! I’m glad we did it.
