We rediscovered a state treasure this week! The Boyce Thompson Arboretum is a fabulous place to stop for a day trip! The boys and I drove for an hour and landed in an oasis in the middle of the high desert!
We met a group of lovely ladies there…
…and set off to explore
hidden paths
an old Austrailian shepherds shanty in the “outback”
an old rock house
…and discover!
While admiring some roses, we discovered a baby grasshopper. The kids had fun admiring the little guy and passing him around before Keegan accidentally (dropped) released him back to the wild! 🙂
Whew. It was a tiring, but beautiful day. I can’t think of a better way to jump into our study of Creation than by going out and enjoying it!
Can’t wait to visit.
