Rose and Lion

Enjoying the season with pumpkin carving and roasted pumpkin seeds. Happy Halloween! 🎃

Amazing what you see and learn when you’re exploring using your skills in curiosity.

One of the sweetest experiences in my life is to see intergenerational connection. When I led the leadership series last spring, parents and grandparents participated with the kids and it was so awesome to witness the connection. This photo is from a recent vacation with my mom and son. Super sweet.

Owls vs Crows - this is such a fun game and great way to recap a long day of learning. To play, you make a statement that is true or false. If it’s true, the Owls chase the Crows to a bandana on the floor. Anyone who gets tagged then becomes an Owl. (And vice versa) It’s even more fun outdoors- but the air quality was really awful this day so we played inside! The kids loved coming up with the true/false statements too.

We found cats in Catskill NY. 🤩

Practicing leadership skills on a nature walk 🐢

An awesome story time break!

Found - Crayfish! Turtles! And more! Rose and Lion leadership camp at the Willows

Over the weekend, I led several families through an intro to forest bathing- and one of the littles spotted this heart-shaped rock. I 💚 seeing how kids effortlessly connect with nature. 🌲 And somehow it makes it easy for the adults, too!

Our Nature at Twilight program was postponed due to the air quality, so I’m missing cool photos from that. So, here are some ferns. Ferns are good at cleaning the air. 😁

What IS it that makes those bunny ears so fun to make behind someone’s head in a photo? 🤣

We did one of our fave spring activities- picking honeysuckle and sucking the flavor from the sweet flower
