Mateo and I got to ride on the Water Strider today at Warner Nature Center's Fall Color Blast! It's the world's 1st solar power pontoon boat, built in 1999. While we were waiting, Mateo dipped a net into the lake to see what sorts of critters he could find. Lots of snails and very small mussels - some other kids found dragonfly larvae, a water scorpion and a tadpole. After our pontoon ride, we lucked out and hitched a ride back to the nature center on a golf cart :-)
