Almost A Rainy Day

Wednesday was a very threatening day.  By threatening, we mean it looked really rainy and gray.  The forecast led us to believe that we would have to miss the playground due to rain on the way, so we decided to talk an early walk and enjoy God's creation.  We looked at the clouds and tried to remember what kind they were and had some fun watching for the sun to sneak through and say "hi."  We also measured some trees with the tallest child in our class.  Can you believe that he is taller than this tree?

 But not taller than this one?  We can use our scientific observation skills anywhere and anytime.  We are that smart!!!

 We also found some tiny flowers to show us that Spring is really here.  (But we agreed not to pick them because bees need to share some of their pollen to make more plants bloom.  And because there wasn't enough for everyone to have one.)

 This is our little nature group, having a great adventure even though it looked like rain.  We even had some time to do a little "snake" walk.  (If you don't know what this is, ask your child to demonstrate.  It is almost like follow the leader, but requires a little more concentration because you are walking and following.)  Aren't we so cute?  These smiles are so bright that they can turn any bad day into a good one. I know they make me smile and inspire me.!
