Digging Nature

I will keep taking my kids on nature walks if it's the last thing I do, even if it kills me!  OK, that sounds drastic, but it's hard.  Well, it's hard for me anyway.  So with many pats on my back, I present to you our latest nature explore.  The San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve.  We'll start here with the boys digging up "dinosaur bones" with their "rock knives."
