What a great day to go exploring! It was a little drizzly, but we never used our rain jackets. The weather was plesant; about 78 degrees F and 85% humidity. We saw a Blue-tailed skink, several dragon flies, 2 toads (Fowler's Toad's), a Banana Spider with only 5 legs, an Osprey flying low above the river, 3 Red Headed Woodpeckers and 4 Cardinals really close to us! I was shocked at how quiet my boys were! They were totally in awe of those bright red and brown birds! Declan realized that the brownish cardinals are the females and he said that it is good that the girls are brownish so they will be protected. We ate lots of Muscadine grapes and climbed a bunch of trees!

Loved being alive today! Life is better outside!
