“After listening to the podcast, I asked my 2 yr old boy if he would be interested in observing something. He replied 'dump truck.' Knowing this was one of his favorite things to observe in the mornings of trash day we did just that. 

His observations were: (1) the truck is loud, (2) the truck is BIG, and (3) the trash stinks.”
 – Kevin T. 

“I have to admit I didn't realize I've been so dedicated to this “project.” I never knew what I would do with the data.

It just became a habit of checking every day.” – Brenda

but when it comes to a hiking snack, better pack your own.” – Natalie
