Salamanders and Water Striders

We noticed two fascinating creatures in the creek on Friday- a salamander and a water strider bug. Andy said, "I wish I could be a salamander so I could hide under rocks." Felix said, "I wish I could be a water strider bug so I could walk on water." We talked about how we shouldn't touch salamanders because our skin's natural oils can be poisonous to them.

We also found a tiny dead mouse and we decided to bury it. We marked the burial with a geode.

We baked pretend treats and served them to each other.

We played one of our favorite blindfold games, My Tree.
