Earth Day Helpers

For Earth Day we went through the neighborhood and picked up trash. They were so tired after all their hard work we had to take a break under the shade on this bench.

Nature Walk

Today we went on a nature walk down the wash to help celebrate Earth Day. We observed the plant and animal life of the desert. We saw a bunny, birds, a lizard, snake holes, a bird nest, saguaros, jumping cholla, prickly pear, palo verdes, and lots of pretty spring flowers. And the best part was definitely the family of five javelinas!!

Baby Chicks

Look what we got to play with...baby chickens!!

Happy Birthday, Cash!!

Happy 5th Birthday, Cash!! Thank you for sharing the delicious cupcakes. Enjoy being 5....it's a lot of fun. :)

Butterflies!!

Izzy, Cash, Kaitlin, Kaden, Kate, Kenzie, and Logan getting ready to release the butterflies!

We had nine beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies!

Each child took a turn to grab one out of the net and let it go.  It was so exciting to watch them fly away.

Kate holding her new butterfly friend...it stayed on her for about 15 minutes.  :)
