Sunday morning in the woods
Yesterday morning the three of us took a Wonderbug Adventures class at Stern Grove, just down the street. The theme was caterpillars and butterflies, and Zoe learned all about cocoons and metamorphosis, danced around like a butterfly and went on a little nature hike. (Illustrating just what an urban kid she is, Zoe wondered aloud whether we would see any “choo-choos” – i.e. street-cars – in the woods.) Though we didn’t spot any real butterflies (too chilly for them to be out, I guess), Zoe did get nice and close to a banana slug. Her assessment of him? “He’s wet. He needs a bath.”

Yaks, she touched it! I guess I will not be going with her on nature walks.
