FIELD TRIP FUN



Well, it has happened!  I didn't think I could have so much fun...outside, FREEZING!  I have to admit, I am not a huge outside lover, when it's cold...but today was fun!  We had another successful field trip with Lilly's class.  The class went to a "tree farm".  It wasn't really a tree farm, but at the house/on the property of a little boy in Lilly's class.  They live in a very nice country home with lots of pine trees!  The kids thought it was great fun (so did the parents)!  Lilly's class made peanut butter/bird seed pine cone bird feeders earlier this week in class.  So they hung them on the pine trees.  We played a game, ring around the pine tree...it's like ring around the rosey, but around the tree instead!  Then the kids got to go on a scavenger hunt to find certain colored ornaments on each tree.  Next they got to pick a candy cane off of another tree, lastly it was into their garage to warm up, eat some cookies, drink hot chocolate and listen to a story and some christmas music.  The weather report said it was 33 degrees, but with the wind it felt like 23...BRRRR!  It indeed was VERY cold, but a nice morning too!

The beautiful bird feeder she made and is so proud of!


The candy canes


Mmmmm...hot chocolate...one of her favorites!
