Brett wanted to go to the River today. So we walked to the River. And we stayed at the River, in almost the same place, for 4 hours. It was very warm today and the tide was on the rise, so the boys played in the water the whole time! It was great to stay in the same place for that amount of time because it gave us the opportunity to observe the changing tides.
When we first got to our spot, we could walk on the sand and go under a big tree that had fallen down. By the end of the day, we were not able to go under the tree because the water was too high. The boys took advantage of the changes by having fun jumping off the log over and over again! It was a delightful day!
The other observation we made today was the difference between a dead tree branch and a live tree branch. We talked about how breaking off dead branches can help the forest by eliminating "ladder branches" which are dead branches that help wild fires climb higher.
