The making of our nature table...
First, we needed to gather some nature treasures.
The boys are always up for that, so we headed off to our favorite nature center not too far away
from our home...
the Ellanor C. Lawrence park is beautiful and peaceful
Before we even got started on our walk,
we wandered into the nature center where something is always happening...
Today, the boys got to feed some animals, starting with the painted turtles

 |
| Turtles being fed super worms |
 |
| Broad head Skink being fed super worm |
 |
| Copperhead snake (the only poisonous snake in fairfax county) |
 |
| A beautiful quiet walk among tall trees |
This is where my heart opens up, or grows, like the grinches. I feel I need to live in a place like this, with nothing but my family and these trees.

| A tiny toad stool, no bigger than an acorn |

| creek with shimmering golden green light |

You are the most amazing mom. Our boys are so lucky.
