along the alphabet path...

today, being the truly beautiful spring-like day that it was, seemed the perfect day to try out an idea that i have been mulling over for the past month or so. we set out on our daily nature walk, but then i threw in a little twist...a nature scavenger hunt of sorts, set up by none other than mother nature herself!


aydin worked hard to learn his letters this past quarter (though it is truly amazing how many he already knew just from having an older brother :). and today we began our review by doing our best to spot the various letters amongst mother nature's own creations. i knew he would get a kick out of this idea because he & orin both love the "i spy" series, "where's waldo?", etc...


it was great fun for all...though it is also quite challenging as well. but then, what fun would it be if we found them all right away?? the real fun is the hunt, right??


anyway, here are the results of today's "i spy"...
