The weather continues to be cold and rainy, so the science campers this week are getting wet and muddy. A lot of the creek came back to camp inside shoes and socks. This kind of stuff doesn't really bother most kids though. I noticed that a couple of boys arranged it so that their shoes were in a puddle when the group stopped to do journal work. One of the boys deliberately touched scat too. Later, I heard that he also touched the small pile of animal guts we found. His classmates didn't seem to surprised by his behavior. I'm sure his parents would be less than pleased.

We saw a couple of turtles in the pond today, lazily crawling along under the surface. A bit cold for turtles.
