Whipple Hill Conquerers













We hiked through the Whipple Hill preserve, summitting Lexington's highest point and then braving fallen logs over vernal pools and making duck calls. A nature scavenger hunt helped guide them in their observations.

Namaste! Janna Westmoreland led us in a bendy adventure. The girls were fantastic about trying things and quite adept at the more complicated poses!
