Taking Time to Explore
The trip to the car we looked at the clouds. We all liked how different they were. We were running slightly late and needed to be on time. They loved looking at the clouds during the drive.
As we were driving we passed a park along the way. It has a bridge over a small river, with a quick glance over at the park to gather something to talk about we swan swans were right by the bridge. So I turned the car around and we made a mad dash to the bridge to see if they were still there. When we got to the bridge we had a fun surprise! There were the swans the their almost full grown babies along with ducks and geese! They were all eating. The girls and I got to watch them eat and swim around for about 15 minutes. We got to see how the pattern change in the feathers on the baby swans. We heard the geese honk to each other and the ducks quack. It was interesting to hear the different sounds. I can tell them all about the sounds but hearing next to each other was great learning.
This was a great learning experience that had I not turned around the car we would not have had. Have you ever made yourself slightly late to see and learning something?

What a great experience for all of you! On a walk we tend to dawdle to explore things. The other day my 4-year-old was singing “Itsy Bitsy Spider” to a little spider she found on the sidewalk! lol
I think those unexpected learning moments are the best and etch in our memories forever. Beautiful pictures too!
It is not always easy to find lessons in everyday life, but this is a great example of the cycle of life and getting to witness and observe it in full color and sounds in such a pretty way must have been greatly enjoyable. Thank you for sharing and for linking up this week to the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop.
Yep! Nearly always late looking at a tree, or a puddle, or an insect 🙂 hehe but lovely photos and sounds like they had a great time 🙂
What a wonderful moment! Watching them glide by as a family would have been so cool!
