nature filled morning...

kaia's pre-school class had their last field trip of the year today...it was to the nature center and it was so cool. first off, i was so proud of myself that i remembered my camera that i almost forgot and then we get there and try to turn it on to find out that the batteries are totally dead. not even enough juice left for 1 picture...so, out comes the phone so i can at least get a few pics that aren't very good quality.
oh well. anyways, this place has so much neat stuff. they each got to make a plaster paw print of different types of animals paws with plaster...kaia made a bobcat print. then we looked at a bunch of different animals & exotic bugs...for example the madagascar cockroach. yuck! then they each got to pet a opossum (or possum as a call it). the whole time i was thinking, "usually when i see these things out at night i can't get far away fast enough"...and here's kaia petting him. i told one of the other mom's that i hope he had his rabies shots, they're usually pretty mean. i guess this one was nice and kinda cute for an opossum. however...the thought "do i have my pepper spray with me?" did enter my mind once or twice.
then, we went on a nature hike...if we had known we were gonna do that, we woulda worn something else besides flip flops. anyways...here are a few not very good pics from this morning...
check out that great picture... (ha ha)
here's kaia and mr. opossum...thank you for not attacking my daughter :)
i can't believe pre-school's over in 2 weeks! :(
