Two days in, and our Fall Break Mini Camp Adventures are already full of big discoveries! We’ve learned, snacked, played and developed quite the fascination with our bushy-tailed park neighbors—the squirrels! Apparently, their mini escapades are must-see entertainment!

Days 3, 4 and 5, here we come! More creating, exploring and “Whoa, look at that!” moments ahead!
