Mommy-Daughter Date

This morning I was able to accompany Emily and her preschool class on a field trip to Fontenell Forest. The weather was LESS than ideal (thunder, lightening, rain and hail!) so we mainly stuck indoors. However, they had two fun little presentations. One, using a puppet show to explain how animals use their five senses. In the other, Emily and the kids got to observe and pet a turtle and rabbit. Watching them learn and react to it all was such a treat!

The kids were also able to go downstairs where they have a little "exploratory" zone--complete with dress up---Emily loved her blue butterfly wings. We were able to go outside for all of 5 mins, and managed to see some wild turkeys! But, then it started to rain again and it was time to head back home. It goes without saying that Emily loved the bus ride. Regardless of the weater, it was a lot of fun to just hang out with my girl!








Peak-a-boo!
