Launching Bark Boats in the Pond

Alice of Cottage Blessings began a tradition of Wednesday nature outings with our homeschool group in beautiful Old Westbury Gardens.
Isabella, our family explorer, brought us to this 'secret' pond, where she and Christina spent a busy hour building, launching, and racing bark boats, complete with passengers (see the round, spiky little guys in the boat?)
Don't you just love what happens to little ones when they get absorbed in their very own natural activities? I could watch them all day.
