Field trip

Cailin went on a field trip with her ECFE (early childhood family education) class on Friday. We went to Richardson Nature Center in Bloomington. We met at the school where we have class to meet up with the bus. She was a little nervous about riding the bus, but got on board and sat very quietly. Then as the bus got going, she got more comfortable and turned to me and said "mommy, I'm riding a big yellow school bus!". It was super cute. I actually found myself a little misty at the fact, seeing her, looking so grown up and all. I wondered what had happened to my little pipsqueak of a baby. Goes quickly!

Here, the big girl on her first big bus ride!!

She had a lot of fun. The purpose of the trip was to learn about how to make Maple Syrup, so the kids got to learn about trees and the maple syrup making process. It was quite fun. A little chilly, but overall pretty fun!

Cailin's favorite part of the trip was drilling into the tree and pounding the spiggot into the tree. She thought that was pretty cool.
Here, she was sampling some of the homemade syrup. Yum, she wanted more, more more!

Andrew got stuck at daycare that day, but had fun. He was a little confused as he left with Daddy and mommy and Cailin were still at home. But we picked him up after daycare and got Shamrock shakes (which he polished before we even got home....) and then went to the mall for haircuts and dinner.
