    I really wish there was a way to purchase items such as DVD's of Dirtgirl World and water bottles like the ones they gave away on here... Does anyone have any info?

    Yesterday, our two year old was driving his truck outside and was looking up with a big grin on his face and said, "tree" and then "sky" and was just happy to be living in that moment. Wish we could all just enjoy the simple pleasures of nature so much.

    My little ones enjoy the beach. We walk down there and stop along the way to see the catepillars, butterflies, birds, etc. Then when we get there we try and build as many sand castles as possible. We love to dig for sand crabs and visit the touch pools. Before we leave we make sure that we haven't left anything behind and look forward to our walk home. We are very lucky to live where we live with all our wild life and beaches.

    He loves to feel the fresh air. Everytime we go outside he starts jumping around. We go to the park every Sunday and enjoy a nice picnic snack after playing.

    The show's concept is a great message, but the animation is more appropriate for kids older than 4. My 18 month old cries whenever he sees this. I think it's a bit creepy myself.

    My little ones love swinging, playing, looking for worms and watering our blueberry bushes.

    Lifting up rocks to find some bugs in the backyard. We are still looking for a butterfly cocoon.

    My four year old loves getting outside with a nature journal and crayons---honestly the dandelions are always the highlight though! ;-)

    My 3 yr old loves bugs and saw a hurt bee the other day and asked if we can take it to the hospital so the doctor can fix his wings so he can fly again!

    Our little one LOVES being outside. She loves looking at all the colorful flowers that her "Ammie" has planted and to explore under rocks for new bugs. When we finally do come inside, we tend to the plants that we started growing for our vegetable garden this year!

    Rides on dad's back in a carrier while hiking, "Helps" Mom in the yard, and loves the blow bubbles outside - He gets so upset when he has to come inside too.

    We walk around the lake and marvel at all the shoreline has to offer.

    Just being outside makes him happy. He loves climbing in trees, playing in the dirt, making mud castles, riding his bike, you name it, he loves it!
