Ever since reading Little House on the Prairie, Elizabeth has wanted to go to a prairie and run through the grasses and "wheat" (as she calls the weeds). So we found a prairie (a field that is waiting to be bought and built on) near our local YMCA and walked to it today. We took our nature study pack and Elizabeth drew some pictures of the flowers we saw. We also picked some of the flowers. There are some really pretty ones if you look closely for them in the field. Colors of lavender, bright butter yellows, deep burghandy, and pristine whites. We brought some cold water and sat in our Lil Tot seats that we had bought for $2 at a garage sale this summer and the kids explored the "prairie".
