Hello Family Adventurers!
Sorry this is a day late! I had a technical glitch yesterday that erased the whole email I had written and didn't have time to rewrite it! Technology! Anyway, I hope you had the chance to get out into the rain and maybe splish and splosh around a bit in the mud this week. There's nothing like the look on a child's face when they're muddy and playing. =) Makes me smile just thinking about it!

 

Looks like mostly sunny days ahead (except for some possible drizzle on Sunday), so get out your calendars and see where you might plug into nature with us! Remember, you can join our Meetup group to get more details and to RSVP. Hope to see you soon!

Hello Family Adventurers!

Happy Thanksgiving Week to you all! While we may get a bit of rain here this weekend, the forecast for the desert for the week is looking fantastic - lows in the 40s and highs in the mid to high 60s. It's not too late to join us for our annual Thanksgiving camping trip! See the details for it, and all of our adventures on our calendar of events...

Nature Traditions and the Holidays...

As we enter the busy holiday season, our goal this year is to add nature back into people’s overflowing calendars by inviting them to join us in some of our family traditions. We all know the calming effect nature tends to have on us, yet we often get too busy this time of year to take advantage of the free therapy right outside our doors. By making something a tradition, a ritual, or an “annual” event for your family nature club, members and friends are invited to begin new traditions of their own...

This Week in Nature, 11/10/11

Well, we were all set to have a wonderful birthday celebration to commemorate the 2nd birthday of this club and it went off and had to predict rain for Saturday.   Unfortunately, Penasquitos Canyon closes with rain so we can't even have a rainy, muddy play day. That would have been a blast! The good news is, I rescheduled our birthday hike to Saturday, December 10th. Details below and on the meetup listing...

This Week in Nature, 11/03/11
