Thanks to Alexis, our ranger at the Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens, the maiden voyage of Discover Nature With Us was a total success. Thank you also to everyone who came.
We had about 25 people including kids from the ages of 7 months to 11 years old. It was so great to see my closest friends and family enjoying one of DC's best kept secrets. 90% of the participants were from DC or have lived here for more than 25 years and had never been to the Park.
We saw frogs, turtles, tropical water lilies and East Asian Lotuses. We were even graced by the presence of 3 red shouldered hawks at the end of walk. The weather was amazing - overcast and warm but comfortable.
As soon as I can, I'll post some great pix. My big Kindergartner-to-be drew an amazing picture of her reflections of her experience. I'll put that up too.
It feels so great to know that I'm on MY path.
