I've done this with all the kids in our family and they always remember our little adventures. They also have a greater affinity to nature and notice it more than other kids. When they were older we, a photography safari to get them used to using a camera. <br /><br />Great teaching moment Grandma! <br /><br />The bonus is I find these types of excursions to be calming for the spirit.Ellie Belen Ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419669715934999833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002258242339978362.post-37809636470783243772010-05-19T10:45:59.551-05:002010-05-19T10:45:59.551-05:00Wonderful little field trip!
