Into the Woods

Our place was only about 6 miles from the light house on cape Hatteras.

One day we checked it out and also the nature program for children where national park ranger Mickey talked about birds. First he let the children use their arms like wings

Then they could build a nest

At another day we checked out the nature trail in the Buxton Woods nearby. For Mia it was one of her first nature hikes. Every 100 yards or so there was a little information board with something about the fauna, flora or the island

After some time Mia used some sticks to help with the walking and later asked papa to carry her
