The way you explore nature and show it to your girls is inspiring and calming for me to see. My own children are outside a lot too but explore their surrounding in a little different way which has to do alot with strengh, action, speed- the boy way, I guess. But I like the pictures of your sweet girls, how gentle they are, how curious but kind and gentle. <br />with lots of love and admiration<br />bora from Switzerlandkirschkernzeithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020814361362613419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218602897331908767.post-65489018436559198722010-04-24T13:05:31.032-04:002010-04-24T13:05:31.032-04:00how fun. our day was all about snails today, too. ...how fun. our day was all about snails today, too.

I lined it with grass, and then covered them up again with more grass and dirt!
