Goose Pond Mountain Created Wetlands, 22 September 2007

Kat reflects on our outing at Goose Pond Mountain Created Wetlands...

We had such a large turnout today that we didn't have enough butterfly nets to go around! Sixteen families joined us on our outing today, some with three generations of nature enthusiasts. Children ran through tall grasses chasing butterlies with their parents and grandparents in tow. The Cabbage White butterfiles cooperated, and the air was peppered with the excited squeals of children netting butterfly after butterfly. As I stood back taking pictures I noticed the memories these families were making together, and the wonder they were experiencing as a family enjoying a beautiful day outside. The pride our children felt as they showed off the insects they caught to their families and to each other was evident on their faces.
