Our Field Trip

Alan and I celebrate 27 years of marriage today! He is spending the day here at home with us and tonight we will have a date. Thank you in advance, to our daughter Lauryn, who will take care of Jadyn for us. We are really looking forward to an evening alone.

Jadyn and I went on a little field trip with her preschool class this week. We went to a nature center which is not far from her school. We saw a puppet show, went on a little hike, and then viewed all the displays inside the center. I was impressed by all of the displays of snakes and other small animals, plus they had lots of hands-on things for the kids to see. It was everything from animal skins to deer antlers and hooves. It was a very cool place.

The little hike was quite rainy. We knew we'd be hiking, no matter what the weather so we came prepared. As a parent, you almost dread knowing it will be a cold, rainy experience. Even though it was WET, it was fun. It was beautiful out there. We even saw an owl in tree. Pretty cool!

I didn't bring along a regular camera, since I knew it would be so wet. I did snap a few pictures with my phone. I ended up wishing I'd brought the camera along, of course. :)

We looked for puzzle pieces on the hike, by following clues. Here is the completed puzzle.
