Today we tried out Forest School with Maedreigh. It was such a beautiful day!The kids found all kinds of sticks and goodies!Lu took the opportunity for dancing while we waited for Maedreigh and Ms. Brandi to find us.Alex loved trying to “chop” down trees. We did have a talk about respecting a nature preserve as well. 😉William kept finding snails for the girls. They liked them best when the snails would peek out their eyes. 🐌 Lucy LOVED throwing the gravel into the pond. I think she could have done that for hours had we let her.More snailsAnd more snails.As we were leaving the pond habitat, we found a wasps’ nest. It was a great learning opportunity for our kids, as well as the ones walking by.The girls found some great mud puddles to stomp in while the boys found crawfish. The boys also discovered some pretty cool tracks. We think they might have been from a coyote. Maedreigh went searching for some ducks, and found the mud. Her mommy was very prepared though. Clean clothes were waiting in the car for later, so they could get as dirty as they liked. I would say Forest School was a success for the day! 😊 To end our crazy day, since Daddy was out of town, we loaded up with Orange Leaf. At least Lucy likes frozen yogurt
