Trip to the Ardsley Wildlife Sanctuary

Who would think that there would be wildlife sanctuary right in the middle of suburbia?  I wasn't sure what it was all about, but decided to take the kiddos the other day when the weather was just too gorgeous not to be outside.  That is one of the best parts of homeschool-- I can say, "come on, let's go somewhere."  And we did.

Boy, were we amazed.  Suburbia disappeared.  No houses, no noise, no cars.  Just the sounds of the water crackling in the stream below or the birds above.  Lovely.  We didn't want to leave.  Kiddo #3 suggested going back soon with a picnic lunch and blanket.  I just think we may just have to do that.  We were among 81 acres of undeveloped, natural space and it was wonderful.

Didn't Kiddo #1 do an amazing job with the photographs?  What a gem we found on a lovely spring day!
