Stetson University - Earth Day Family Day


Who says a Tar cannot secretly wish to become a Hatter? This Rollins' Momma is never disappointed when it comes to a Stetson family event. Let's just say, I wish for Sea and Shell to be proud Hatters one day, too. As you know from browsing our blog, we love everything Earth related. This family event fit in perfectly with everything we are learning in life this year.  


This seed says to wear gloves when handling. We are planning to research this seed on Monday.



Nope, it's not 2010. It's 2011. I assume these are leftover from last year.



Sea was thrilled to have the opportunity to make her own necklace.



Each child was given the opportunity to bring home five of their discovery pieces.


We know all too much about the creatures who live in the grasslands. They all live in our neighborhood! Mr. Raccoon continues to leave droppings in our backyard.


Yes, it really was sparkling clean!



Just lift the flap and learn what made the item in your home!


I loved this cave. Sea wasn't so thrilled to be in the dark.






Last night, Sea ended up having a nightmare about the bats in the cave. I'm not sure I'll be able to talk her into going into the cave on our next visit. However, in the middle of the night we discussed how bats help our planet and how they eat berries and flying bugs, too. 


Sea was so excited to fill the cups with soil. We later learned there was a craft table with biodegradable cups. *lol* We ended up at the craft table at the end of the event, but the wind was extremely strong. I couldn't hold down the stickers, much less take a picture. She loves to be a leader and wanted to be the soil person for the day.


Mommy was taking notes! It was a great time to learn what to incorporate in our garden.


Unfortunately, we have to remove a tree from our yard next week. It's going on 50+ years and showing signs of decay. We plan to name the new tree, Hatter!



I love this sign!



This was Sea's favorite part of the day. She learned to color with oil pastels.


I have to say, she did a FANTASTIC job!


 Proudly displaying her artwork. *Butterfly, bottom left*


Her daddy is a professional artist. I'm sure she's working towards a colorful future.


In honor of the tree we will say goodbye to this week.


Free Shirts, too! Yippee! We love Hatters!
