Yesterday James and I – along with other Texas Master Naturalistss from the Highland Lakes chapter – volunteered at the annual Day in the Park for Blanco third graders at Blanco State Park. Altogether we hosted 73 kids, five teachers and more than 10 parents/adults. During the day, the kids rotated through six stations that included honeybees, bats, bird nesting, fish/habitats, monarchs vetebrates and – of course – SPIDERS. At our station, we had Matt Jary helping out, too. It was a great day!
And, oh, I gave my spider presentation to Blanco fifth-graders Wednesday! A lot of them remembered me from Day in the Park two years earlier. My cool (old) spider T-shirt helps in that department.

We got into the car to leave and guess what I found in my hat?! Why, a tiny spider, of course. If any of the third graders had been there to see it, they would have told me it was a crab spider. Which was right! They were so smart and listened well to my chitchat about spiders.
