Rivers

Today is River Day. We drove down to the Patuxent. The other river relatively close to us is the Potomac but is more of a drive.

If your child is wondering where rivers come from (since they aren't attached to an ocean, how did they get all that water?) I recommend Where the River Begins by Thomas Locker. You and your child might even be able to try a hiking or camping trip to find the source of a nearby river.

If you have an older child who is following along with the water discussions, I highly recommend The Drop in My Drink by Meredith Hooper.

That's all for now. Tonight we're taking the kids square dancing!
