Nature Deficit Disorder

Have ya'll heard of this before? That the amount of time children (and this adult) are spending outside is becoming less and less, so of course there is a disorder for this problem. Well we got a good ole dose of nature today at the Tallahassee Museum (a.k.a. Jr. Museum for those native to the area). We saw and did lots of really neat things...

We moved our "wings" like an eagle.



We said, "GO GATORS!"



We learned that the roots of a Cypress Tree are called knees



We imagined what we would have looked like in the olden days



School looked very different in the 1800s



Many organisms lurk in the water around us



And finally, that everyone loves to play!
