at the start of the last visitation, we were still relatively new to the US and went on a free community nature walk/smores thing with the sprogs (youngest a baby in a sling).

We learned about smores there. And cicadas -never even heard of them before. And we learned that some people don't think things through properly ....as they told all these young kids about groundhogs and groundhog day and then asked if they'd like to meet one...and brought out a very sad and very, very dead stuffed specimen.....

Then they told us all about how the evil developers were going to build a new high school on all of that land. The high school all the kids eventually went to

I hope so, but not for me. We don't need that much fire wood for our outside fire pit. It was big 4 truckloads worth. I hope somebody gets use out of it.

***wait I'm getting old and confused, I forgot we did two of these things. It wasn't a groundhog -that one was on groundhog day, but there was something stuffed that had seen better days and was irrelevant to the theme of the walk.
