Field Trip!

Mimi vegged out on the couch this morning with our tablet.  She (understandably) calls it the iPad, and she can maneuver around on it without trouble.  I think she can do it better than I can!  A couple times she came to me, and I had no idea how to do what she was asking!

 

 

 Mac's preschool class went on a field trip, today.  She was very excited, and I volunteered to go with her class.  She sat behind me on the bus with a little friend.

 

 

Her class went to the Bell Museum, which is a small natural history museum on the campus of the University of Minnesota.  They have a touch and feel room, where there are live animals--lots of bugs, lizards, mainly, and stuffed larger animals.  The guide brought out both a snake and a little box turtle.  Most of the kids wanted to touch them. 

 

 

This bear's jaws are easily bigger than Mac's head.  Good thing he was stuffed!

 

 

Mac's head in a terrarium--she said it smelled like plants.

 

 

Goldy the Gopher came and caused a ruckus with the kids--the guide had a hard time bringing them back after that!

 

 

It was so fun to spend time with Mac in a different setting, and without the other girls.  It doesn't happen very often, and I was glad I could go with her class.
