This is a day that Aidan was really looking forward to, and one that Mike and I were dreading. It is a long day&#8211;starting at before 9am and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This summer we decided to forgo major travels and enjoy a series of brief excursions just beyond our usual stomping grounds. Our most recent adventure took us to the gateway city&#8211;St. Louis.

We scooped for pond life, netted for prairie insects, took and examined soil samples, observed an amazing menagerie of raptors, tested a falconer&#8217;s tracking device, saw a collection of fossils, tried [...]]]></description>

The event happened at a birthday party for one of his good friends, Autumn, who loves horses. Here&#8217;s a picture of him. &#160;Aidan rides a horse!]]></description>

Just in case you&#8217;re wondering what in the world I&#8217;m talking about, I&#8217;ll take you back a couple months ago when we decided to order caterpillars and watch them grow and change into butterflies.
