Bear Down Chicago Bears!

Chris and I went to the Bears-Eagles game this past Sunday night (thank you for the tickets Dan!).  I was pretty pumped to be at a live NFL game despite the Bears loss.

I have a lot of sympathy for Jay Cutler, given his performances of late.  However, in the end, my pigskin heart belongs to San Diego Chargers' Philip Rivers.

Seek Relief in the Trail

Back at the North Park Nature Center for a class on raccoons.  Here we're on the hunt for evidence of the little bandits. 

The deer were pretty easy to find.  We saw six!

Now for storytime and crafts.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
