Here are the Huck Finn wannabees and the raft they created during Adventure Camp at our local state park.
It is good to encourage the kiddos to "get unplugged" and enjoy the outdoors. See my blog post dated July 18th.
The Last Child in the Woods written by Richard Louv is some good summer reading for those of you dealing with children who have sensory issues, attention deficits or are just plain too involved with electronic games and computers.

Our state newspaper is hosting an online photography contest inviting everyone to submit their best photographs depicting life in Arkansas. Anyone can sign up to submit photos or to cast votes. The top runners in each of the designated "chapters" will be featured in a coffetable book, and at least one photo from each participating photographer will be included in a DVD. So, even if you haven't any ties to Arkansas, go and view what we are all about. But, be prepared! You will see a double decker outhouse, plenty of tractors, and lots of shots of our beautiful woods, lakes, deltas and mountains.
May your day be filled with the wonders of nature and beauty wherever you are!
