| Hank runs wild at Irvine Nature Center's back 40 ? 60? 110? It's a big field - wish they'd restore it as habitat! |
 |
| You wouldn't think this is about 8 miles outside of Baltimore's city limits |
 |
| Hank was ecstatic to find (and he found it himself) a "dwagon toof", which he talked about for the next day and a half. |
 |
| The "dragon tooth" in question (fox jaw) |
 |
| Hank pretty much runs as fast as possible, all the time. One benefit of having no large predators out here (yet) is that he's totally safe running ahead like that. |
 |
| Irvine Nature Center won an award and some certifications for the Outdoor Play Space they built for city and suburban kids to actually play with stumps, boulders, loose soil, etc. |
 |
| Hank takes on the physical challenges of the natural play space a lot more thoughtfully than he does at a regular playground. At the natural play space, he often yells, "I did it!" when he feels like he successfully did something. Yes, he probably got dirty. |

| As a dad, here's one of your (my) measures of success when it comes to planning activities for the kids. |

Well done! Your measure of success photo says so too. ;) What a delightful post.
What an awesome looking day!! Days like this are the ones I look forward to the most.
Thanks Erin! Actually writing about my little bug is tough - it gets super sappy REALLY quick.
And Nick - you're gonna love it. It's so much fun. No less exhausting than what you have on your hands now, but SO much more fun!
Looks like Hank had a great time!
I did have one question though...
How can it be too hot to hunt? ;)
Ha ha, Alex, much like it'd be "too cold" for Floridians to hunt if it got below freezing ;)
