From an email to the grandmas and my brother:
Hi all,
Sorry for the mass email, but I am quite busy these days and need to be more efficient in my bragging about my family. :)
These are some pix we took with our homeschool gym class buddies at the nature center on the day that gym class was cancelled. It is really cool in that we are three homeschooling families that all have 5 yr old girls, 2 and 3 yr old boys and babies (the other moms have 3 and 6 mos old girls). A good time was had by all that grey, gloomy day, last Tuesday. The thing that the kids are all looking at in the second picture is either a shrew or a mouse with most of its face ripped off. They thought it was way cool and it was quite hard to pull them away from it! One of the other families and our family watched a movie about beekeeping that had been made right at that nature center. It was geared to older kids or adults but the 3 and 5 yr olds watched the approx 20 minute video very attentively - a one mile walk around the lake will do that for kids! Then we got to go look at the bee hives and see the bees in the exact spot where the movie was filmed.
Love you,
Katy
