Pre-School: Field Trip #2—Wetlands

My friend, Anita, is always showing me new places and things

it appears, even though, I’d much rather NOT BE, that I can

most definitely be a homebody:( or at least not

expand my horizons.

These pictures are from the Florida Wetlands where we took “the boys” (little Abby was on a trip with her Daddy) for our next Pre-school field trip.

Nature Walk, Open House, etc 184

I wasn’t able to get any ‘live’ pictures of the butterflies, but did get this one.  They were simply lovely.

We are having a lot of them fly through our back yard and it has been such a gift in this season.

I wrote a poem

“When Butterflies Dance”

that I think you might like:):)

Brandon had something to say!

Brandon was trying to keep everyone on the ‘straight and narrow’ as there are ‘gator infested’ waters right by it…we missed out on seeing any, but Anita said they had seen several the last time they came here!!! 

Brandon did not want any parts of them, but his little brother had other ideas!

Little JJ is very tactile, which is something my JJ could use!

I think this picture is cute, just look at my son;)

I think this is because I wouldn’t carry him…I think I shortly gave in…oh my 40 lbs. are too often on my hip these days!!!
