Innis Woods Field Trip

It's that time again...preschool fieldtrip!! The forecast for the day was not very promising. The forecasters were predicting torrential rain with potential for thunderstorms-not very conducive for a nature walk to admire spring happenings in the park. I went shopping for ponchos the night before so we'd be set for anything. Lucky for us, OCP was blessed that day and the rain stayed away until approximately 60 minutes after our fieldtrip ended!

Here's Kendyl right after we got to the park. She thought the purple flowers made a perfect backdrop for a picture.

We scored the crowd favorite, Mr. Barry, as our nature guide! He's an oasis of knowledge and has a fun personality and lots of fun props to engage the kid. After every question that he asks of the kids he asks the answerer to "hit the rock" which they then both explode. Fun times:-)

The kids saw an albino squirrel, a bird in it's nest, some frogs, and a duck. Kendyl's favorite part of the trip though was getting to spend time with her teachers from last year b/c they came along too. It's odd how obsessed she is with them. I think it's just that she knows them from last year. She didn't act this way when they were her teachers. It makes me feel a little bad for hr current teacher's because I'm sure it must hurt their feelings some. We've talked about trying to respect their feelings, but I just can't do anymore to discourage the behavior and she simply adores them!

Here she is holding hands with Mrs. Delmatto

Here's the best group shot that I managed to get

Overall, it was a fun trip. Thanks to Caroline for keeping Lauryl, it was nice to focus on Kendyl for the morning.
