Slippery Rocks

//  by 

Landmark #1 (Explore Outdoors Together)

We went to the beach, explored rocks and found different colours in nature. We watched the waves and noticed how some came up further than others on the sand. We practiced climbing on wet rocks in the water and discussed why they were more slippery than the dry rocks on land.

Sssssssnakes!

Landmark #15 (Garden, birdfeeder, insects etc.)

I was in the Kawartha Highlands walking when I saw the leaves moving. I looked down and saw a Garter snake. I followed the snake for 3 minutes and it slithered in a bush and climbed up a branch. I caught it. I knew they didn’t bite. It was black and yellow. I liked that it curled its tail around my thumb. I showed my sister and convinced my mom to touch it.

Camped out in the backyard for almost 3 weeks! Tons of fresh air and hung clothes to dry on the line as often as we could.

Exercising without Electricity

Landmark #14 (Outdoor Activities without Gas/Electricity)

We rode our bikes, played tag with our dog, ziplined in our backyard, jumped on the trampoline… alot! We made an obstacle course in our backyard with buckets, pool noodles, and old big spools. We had to be the quickest to get through the obstacle course.
