Green FrogI almost felt guilty yesterday taking time off from the Ecology Hall when there is so much to do, but it was Father’s Day, our daughter and grandkids came up for it, and I am glad for the time we had. We went out on the pontoon boat for 2-3 hours and every minute was filled with excitement and discovery. There was a little bit of crying when a dragonfly fell in the water and was having a hard time and Gabrielle wanted us to save it, which we did. To ease my guilt, we snapped some pictures along the way that might be useful in the Ecology Hall.
It was great to be with them . Little Gabrielle (3) and Heinrik (5) both helped steer the boat.

Then I saw today that there is only one opening left in the Black Bear Field Courses—the course for July 12. Thank you.
Thank you for all you do.
