Tatum spent the day birding at Boyce Thompson Arboretum with Kasey, and I don’t think I can overstate how beautiful it all was for her…both the place and the experience.
The arboretum in the fall feels like a quiet invitation to slow down which was great for her! Ancient rock, living water, and trees that have seen so many seasons.
But the real magic was watching having Tatum experience the nature; the BIRDS!
Kasey is so good at birding and she is such a gentle teacher that way. I’m sure she helped her attentiveness and curiosity.
The birds they spotted were incredible!!
- A robin perched high
- Warblers
- A flicker with its markings
- A hummingbird glowing green in the light
- And a flash of red from a cardinal
It was a great time of connection and appreciating how much life is happening above us if we only look up.
These are the days I want her to remember.
I only wish I could have been there too. Kasey is such a great cousin, teacher, friend.
So grateful for days like this, and for the people who take the time to invite kids into the beauty of nature. I love you both so much.
