Fun Times in Durham

The day my parents left we headed out to Durham for a baby shower the next day. We had a great time playing and exploring around the pond and walking around the woods. Eli loves to explore and I have so much fun showing him new things in nature. We even got Mama to hold a frog.

Walking down to the pond with Grandma and Grandpa.

Riding the pig!! When Eli saw the pig
the first thing he wanted to do was ride it.

Eli looking at a frog I caught.
He loved to look but was wary about touching.

A Northern Cricket Frog. This is the one that Eli is looking at above. You can read about them and hear their sound here.

Dandelions.

The draw back to encouraging the nature hikes is that Eli is good at finding things. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Eli poke this guy, I yanked Eli away as the spider did a pose similar to this :-)

Rub-a-dub-dub, three kids in the tub!
