april 2 - bakery trip

The field trip fun days continue :). We began by letting the kiddos draw on large white paper with wet chalk. Yes, wet. This gr8 discovery came a couple weeks ago and my kiddos have drawn with it nearly everyday since.

Riley wasn't interested at first, (he was asking about the trains....) but once he tried the colors, he really enjoyed himself. He told me what colors he was using and preferred using the wide part of the chalk to create strong lines of color.

Carsten was busy tracing his hands and fingers and adding fingernails. He also traced a toy space shuttle and was quite pleased with it's result.

Anneclaire prefers using the multi-colored chalk. She rarely uses anything else.




After a bit of clean-up, dressing for the cooler weather, and getting carseats situated, we were off to the Midway Country Corner Bakery. We were pleased to have Nana as guest.
