Autumn hike ...August 2009

Today we went on a hike in search of tiny treasures that bring us joy and opportunites to learn.  We found lots of acorns, flowers, ant beds, etc...

Acorn boat

On our treasure hunt/ hike we found this old hickory nut shell that reminded us of a boat and a baby acorn and tiny yellow wild flower and 'waalaa' that was the history behind this pic.  He loved it sooo much. 

The grass that surrounded him reminded him of a nest.  He wanted to keep the pretend "babies' warm so I did not think we were going to get very far in this photo shoot.
