Today was Hayley's Preschool Field Trip to the Dinosaur Park. It worked out perfectly that we could all attend together today!!!! Mallory has had the past few days off for End of the Year Kindergarten Testing (Mallory had her appointment earlier this morning) and today is Scott's day off!! We brought Moses (Hayley's friend and our neighbor who is in Hayley's preschool class) with us too!
We met in the Education Center first where the kids made dinosaur puppets and they learned all about the four types of dinosaurs: carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, and insectivores (I never knew there were insectivores until today). After the craft, we were able to go and do whatever we wanted! The kids ran from here to there and back again!! Scott and I were both standing there trying to find and count heads!! We finally pulled all four kids together and discussed a few rules (we probably should have done this before we even got out of the truck--the kindergarten teacher in me wasn't thinking until everyone was able to run wild--Whenever I took my kindergarten class to the Dinosaur Park--which was at least five times--I ALWAYS had "The Talk" with them before we left the classroom, than again before we got off the bus and then again before we left the Education Center!!) Anyway, we had a great time. We walked around with Hayley's friends, Georgia and Madison (they were also on her soccer team--and their sister Justice, who is Mallory's age and their mom--my friend, Julie) and also with my sister Aleece and her daughters Kaitlin and Arika and her son A. J. We really had a fun time! The kids wanted to play on the playground more than anything!! I was sooooo glad Scott came with us!! I was wondering how I ever did this field trip with 20+ kids and no parent volunteers!! We brought a lunch and shared our sandwiches, chips, granola bars and cheese sticks with our friends! It turned out to be a great day!!
