Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm

Today, we went to Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm. It was so, so, so much fun! First, we go to look at animals such as snakes, and turtles. I really enjoyed that! Then, we went on a hike. We saw all kinds of beautiful birds, and we even saw a deer. After that, we went to the farm and saw all the animals. Their was goats, pigs, sheep, and horses. I love animals, so it was really fun to go to the farm. After we came back from Aullwood we worked on a Meditation Script for the rest of the day. I knew right away that I wanted to write about the beach because I love going to the beach.

Here is my Meditation Script:
You are sitting cross-legged on the beach, facing the waves. The sun providing a calming warmth. The sand underneath you tickling your damp skin. You can hear the soft laughter of your family as they run through the ocean water. As you take a deep breath through your mouth, you can taste the salty air on your tongue. You open your eyes and look out at the deep blue ocean. As you are admiring the water, you notice dolphins jumping in and out of the water, teasing each other. You look to your left and watch your family as they build sand castles. You lay back onto the plush sand, and slowly close your eyes, allowing the warm sun to make you sleepy. As you lay back, feeling the sun on your face, and the soft sand beneath you, you drift off into a deep sleep, surrounded by your loving family, and the place you cherish the most.

Here are some pictures from today.







My time at Delco Park...

Today, we walked to Delco Park. It was lots of fun! Even though it was pretty hot, I had my friends with me. When we go to Delco, we rested a bit, and then we did an activity called "Small World". We chose a small area in the park that wasn't man made (so basically a small square of grass), and we studied it. First from standing up, then from crouching, and then from laying down. I observed different types of things, such as grass, clover, and dandelions. I learned from this activity that everything looks different when you're looking at it up close, and this can be anything, not just plants. This can be people, animals, or any object. This is especially related to people because you might think you know everything about someone, but if you look close enough, you'll find that their are so many more things that you can learn about someone. Overall, I had a really fun day at Delco Park, and I learned a lot!
