Field Trip


I think that one of the greatest things about being a stay-at-home mom is that I get to go with my kids on their field trips. Yesterday Morgan's class went to the Bear Creek Nature Center and then to the park for a picnic. It was so fun!


Here she is with some of her classmates. She's kind of hidden, but this was the best I could get. Kindergartners love to have their pictures taken, I found out! One of the guides took us on a little hike and showed us lots of interesting things that are native to Colorado. I certainly learned a lot!

Inside the center they have this really cool beehive that you can watch the bees going in and out. It was very interesting. I think that most of the kids liked this part the best.

They had a puppet show and talked about all of our senses. Then they talked about animals who use these senses and on the hike we got to watch for some of them. They had a whole bunch of animals that were stuffed and we got to touch them and learn more about them.



Morgan & her friend Shannon were so cute. They held hands the entire hike!

I just love this little girl. She is growing up so quickly and it makes me so sad. She is such a little sweetie and just so easy going. I asked her what the best thing about the trip was. Her reply? Riding the school bus!

So happy I got to go with her!

You're right, one of the benefits of being home is being able to really BE there for your kids like this. Looks like a fun experience .... for both of you! Glad you had a good time!
