We started learning about Brazil in geography this week and one of the suggested activities was to create a rainforest diorama. We ended up working on it for two days (with the painting, etc.) and it turned out pretty cool.

Julianna was pleased with how it turned out. Of course, if you ask her I'm sure her answer will be, "It's lame."
The obligatory Flat Stanley doll: Safari girl, Lamean (Her doll names cannot be explained.) Yes, we have our nature expeditions a little skewed, but hey, if you look close, there's a scorpion on the forest floor. Nature is nature is nature in our book. Ha!
