Piper ran out in front stopping every so often to look back and yell, "C'mon!" Whenever she saw her sisters writing, she made a few scribble scrabbles on her notebook.
Roxy pranced along behind Piper, pig tails flying in the breeze. She diligently copied whatever she saw on each of the plaques we came to that identified the plants. When we reached the Lemonade Berry tree, she quite literally exploded into giggles.
Dillen was very studious and stopped about every 10 feet or so. She diligently wrote down everything she noticed about the plant (texture, color, size, smell, etc) and included a drawing.
We didn't walk very far, just a hair over a half mile, but the girls thoroughly enjoyed it. Next time, we'll check out a different section of the lagoon so they can do some comparisons and figure out what's different.
On the way back to the car, Dillen sided up next time and said, "Dad, I love nature."
