Terrific 2's Fieldtrip

We had a great time on Tuesday visiting the Nature & Science Center despite Lynn and Gunjan having to load 9 carseats into the UUMC van! Our little friends managed to survive the 100 degree heat and stay in good spirits - they looked at fossils and bones, had a snack, saw the rescued animals and dug for dinosaur bones. The stuffed egrets and other birds were a little confusing for the kids "Are they alive?" When are they going to walk?"" Why are they stuffed?" Taxidermy is difficult to understand apparently. Posing for a class photo was an adventure - like herding cats!! Gunjan, Lynn, Chris & I survived the heat too and enjoyed Santi's owl song on the way back to the ECC "hooooooooooo, hooooooooo, hooooooooo, hoooooooo".
Enjoy the pictures and thanks to Angela for getting us out and about - it was so fun!

Co-op

I really enjoyed reading Gunjan's post about her co-op day, so I thought I would do it, too! It was nice to hear a slightly more thorough version of my kid's day than "I got wet! I fell down! I cried!"
So I was parent helper today, the highlight of which is apparently Emma getting to "call names". We had strawberry yogurt, pumpkin muffins, and apple juice for snack. Everyone was great about throwing their trash away, rinsing their cups out, and stacking them on the trays. Caleb even asked if he could dump his yogurt out and rinse that cup out, too..
We got two outside times today, both of which were with the Parents' Day Out kids (Kim's class). Most of it was spent zooming around on the tricycles and toddler trucks, or playing in the dirt, or fighting over swings. I posted some pictures here.
My favorite quote was when Laney said "My poop smells like garbanzo beans. Do you like garbanzo beans?"
Kids are awesome...
