Spring Fling

It finally arrived!!!  Spring Fling and the Fun Bus!  I apologize for not getting these pictures up much earlier, but with the middle school band field trip and a church event on Saturday, I am finally catching my breath and posting photos of our super fun day!  I was so proud of our class.  Everyone had their very best behavior and used their manners throughout the day!  Here is the Fun Bus!  (For those of you who did not believe that it was real...well here it is.)

 

 

We played with the parachute but had to be really careful not to get carried away in the whipping wind that swirled around us.

 We used the sidewalk chalk to draw some cool pictures and practice writing our names for the little ones to

see.

 We also got our faces painted with fun pictures, although some of us opted to get our hands or arms done instead.  There were cars, spiders, rainbows and flowers.  Many thanks to the artistic parents who shared their skills with the children at the preschool.  I hope there wasn't too much of a problem during bath time washing these off.  Some of us were very attached to our artwork.

 

Here we are trying the hula hoops.  I think the children were a little surprised at how tricky it really is to keep the hula hoop going. 

 

 And of course bubbles.  The breezy conditions were just right for watching our bubbles float away.  It is so funny to hear the children talk about where these bubbles might go and how long it will take them get there.  Of course it was also lots of fun to chase them around and pop them.

 

 Since we were the last class on the fun bus with some of our other four year old friends, we got a little bit of extra time.  There was lots of jumping, dancing and sliding.  Thank you Fun Bus for making our day so special.  (I would not be surprised if some of us needed a nap after all of the activity on Thursday.  It was busy and full of lots of physical activity.)

 

  

The highlight of our day was releasing the butterflies that we watched from their arrival as caterpillars.  We weren't sure which ones were Princess Caterpillar or Fenwick Missile, but we are sure they flew away to some delicious flowers.  Thanks be to God for such a wonderful day!  Happy Spring Fling 2012.
