Our Corl Reef
Nathan and Ben help build a coral reef in out entry way, the same entryway where we built the rainforest. Heidi, a neighbor, and some of her friends we met in a IFYAC, Idaho Falls Youth Art Center, where our kids were involved in plays, came a couple times a week to learn about coral reefs. They and Ben made the coral and fish for the outside of the reef and the deep sea fish and animals that live in the dark cave inside the reef. My intention was to cover the whole thing with plants and animals to hide the black “rock,” but we didn’t. What we did was enough.
