Nature Study


We beat Adam to his apartment building so the kids and I walked around the grassy area for a bit.


Then we sat on a big rock in the shade. I noticed some snails- I didn't even know snails lived in our area. I set several snails on the rock for observation. I had never observed snails before so I learned a few things too. The snails do not carry the shell upright like in books and cartoons- the shells are dragged on it's side. We also saw one snail climb halfway onto another snail and make that snail carry him too. Another snail went vertically down the rock.


Sabrina also played with rolly-pollies.

This just goes to show that nature is everywhere, even in an apartment's landscaping.
