Ian the Forest Ranger



The kids and I really enjoy poking around in the forest preserves looking for critters and birds and stuff. Today Ian and I went out by ourselves, Cami was at Grandma's house, to make some plaster casts of animal tracks. Here's Ian posing with one of the frames we made.

We saw quite a few critters today. Lots of frogs, birds, a few snakes (and one that was so small that I was surprised that Ian even saw it) and lots of trees that have been damaged by beavers. We didn't see any deer this time around, which is actually sort of surprising because we always see deer in this particular forest preserve.
