Misc.: Pointing out dirt, trees, etc on walks around the block. (Daily)

Event: Zion National Park (Day 5)

Notes: Not a very exciting week. We did no coloring activity. On our daily walk pointing stuff out is pretty standard, so I don't think I was really helping THAT much with the theme. I think this week I was worried about prepping for our trip and the theme fell through the cracks. Also, I thought it wasn't that easy of a theme, but we picked something that would somehow tie in with Zion National Park. Zeke mastered the signs for wolf, beaver, fox, mountain, bridge, raccoon, skunk, deer, stream/river and backyard.
