Aspens

Today Jefferson County hosted a nature journaling activity. We drove up into the mountains and met at Meyer Creek Park (a place we need to go back to because we didn't get to do the 4 mile loop trail, but it looked absolutely beautiful).

We met our group- mostly of the over 50 crowd- and walked to some picnic tables nestled inside a grove of aspen.

 The arborist taught for a few minutes about how/why leaves change colors. She chose the cutest people in the crowd to be her helpers:

 Camille really enjoyed the watercolors- with dad's help:

The girls did a great job. It was a fantastic activity- being out in nature, learning art skills, appreciating the beautiful world we live in....we LOVE these programs that Jeffco does! Next month they are doing charcoal with skulls and bones. The girls insist they want to go... We'll see!
