where I found nature with my 5-year-old niece and 7-year old nephew.
This summer, I found nature with my niece and nephew again – this time in the St. Louis area!
For my nephew’s 7th birthday, I gave him (and my niece) 3 one-hour horse-back riding lessons.
I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to continue fostering my niece and nephew’s love of nature!
Their reverence, respect, and admiration for nature is apparent in these photos, too.
