Getting Brave!

heading out!

climbing

horse hoof

a favorite tree

listening

an "enemy train" according to the passengers and engineer

trying a risky balancing act

I found this

velcro?

another place to sit in a line

rewinding the yarn

a little tricky to get through here

yarn for a branch

a tall branch that's decorated

this will do for a stage, and an audience!

this is a place for taking risks!

jumping off

taking turns being "up"

a risky yet comfortable seat
 Muddy Boots Club! We were ready to head out into a less wintry forest. As we moved along, we noticed the children trying new sorts of activities, mostly involving climbing by themselves and then sitting, and sometimes jumping!  We were always nearby, and when I commented to some perching children that I was surprised at how brave they were, a littlest club member piped up "Everyone's brave!"

Until Next Time,

Snow! Really!

this one knows what to do with snow!

now what?

let loose in the snow!

sticks and snow

trees, yarn, sticks, and snow

trying a climb

a downed tree makes a nice perch

a game

let's move!

moving along

we loved watching this game, which involved a lot of children moving down the hill at the same time

and laughing!

a sunny windy way



 long shadows

smiling shadows


a big shadow smile!


I found this

smile!


 what happens when you have yarn, children, and trees?

we handed the yarn to the children and they showed us....











a windy way!


Until Next Time,
