break in the heat

Today I was on a nature walk with my class when the extreme heat broke with a tremendous wind storm. We were walking under a grove of Black Walnut trees and the walnuts rained down on our heads. It was pretty exciting and the kids did a great job of coming together and listening in a kind of scary situation. We talked about it afterwards and the kids thought is was either scary or really exciting or both.

I love the break in the heat, that is for sure.
