Our First Field Trip

I think my excitement matched Brianna's for her first ever school field trip! We went to a farm and got to see sorts of baby animals; some only just days old... so cute! When it came to the baby chicks, my ears heard the farmer suggest some parents help pass around the chicks and I went straight up there. Can you say excited! 

One of my favorite memories from elementary school (not sure what year, maybe 1st grade), we got to learn about baby chicks, and they brought some into school. We all sat around in a circle and I couldn't wait to hold them. When it was finally my turn the baby chick cuddled up in my long hair and nestled in. I was so happy! That was then, so today when the farmer mentioned a couple parents or teachers could carry the chicks around I just walked right up!! I was so proud of Brianna for holding the baby chick and not being scared. She had perfect placement with her hands to hold it securely but not too tight. SO thankful for another preschool mom who snapped this picture of us and emailed it to me as we boarded the bus to go home. She also got to pet a lamb, a baby goat (a kid), a piglet, a calf, a kitten, a 10 day old puppy, and even took a hayride.  

Also, so thankful the crazy storms they had forecasted for today lightened up in the morning so that we could enjoy the farm in the warm sunshine! Wow, it's hard to believe Brianna is four and growing into a beautiful little lady. 

Negative Turned Positive

Just prior to nap/quiet times, I got a call from my sister saying she needed a little help. She went on a morning adventure and it just so happened her keys took their own adventure (thankfully just trapping themselves in the car). We had just finished lunch so I said I'd run and get the extra keys and help out! I'm glad I did! 

We had a fun excursion to a new park she had seen before but had never been to yet. It was pretty neat, tree house type theme, down by the river. I'm glad her little mishap happened and gave us an unexpected chance to get together! Plus, I grabbed her camera at one point and managed to shoot a super cute self portrait of the two of us. Probably the first picture in too long to be taken. Let's do this more often!!

I mean... look at the love rolling down this slide!! 

Thanks for sharing the pictures with me Margaret!
