We visited our local state park again today for Nature Circle. Today's theme was the Native American Pow Wow that will be held this weekend. We learned about the types of Native Americans who settled here, how they lived and what a PowWow is (a big party-excellent). Our teacher happened to be the chief ranger of the park and his guest was a woman who grew up on the Choctaw reservation in Mississippi. She spoke a bit of Choctaw for us and taught the kids to count to 5. As usual, we had a great time. After the program, the ranger fired his rifle-one just like the early pioneers carried.
We played at the park and fed stale bread to the one scary goose (less scary this week) and several wild turkeys. FYI, wild turkeys don't care for goldfish crackers.
We ended up our morning with a trip to the grocery store, a fantastic aisle 4 meltdown and a glorious nap, which I am about to disrupt.
