So today, Calli's preschool was supposed to go on a field trip to the Emily Oaks Nature Center. I thought I would be a good mom and go along. Not only could I spend time with Calli, I could get to know the other moms. Well, the trip was cancelled because of the rain, but unfortunately no one told me. So I showed up there, with both girls, and decided we might as well walk the paved trail since we were there.
The paved path was nice except for the 3 huge puddles, a couple inches deep, that covered the entire path along the way. So we walked along listening to tons of birds (seeing none), pushing Mari, carrying Calli accross puddles, and me wading in my tennis shoes. This was not so exciting, until I pointed out the worms!
Calli loved looking for the worms, and then watching them crawl, and poking them with sticks! It was a good lesson for me to take advantage of less than ideal moments, and find something fun!
