Field Trippin' with Kindergarten

The kids have two field trips a year, and I opted for the all-day one with Lila to the Dallas Arboretum.  By 9am we were on the bus and bound for a fun day outside!  

Madison, Lila and Lauren--the three musketeers:)

My little posse--Lauren, Lila, Cason and Rahul.  We couldn't have had a prettier day--the sun was in full effect for sure!  One lucky gal's mom even remembered to bring her sassy sunglasses.

First up, the huge treehouse!  

Climbing up to the top of the net was a big hit, too.

My girl!  

All the kids took turns shooting this water cannon.  It demonstrated the power of water for them.

And this water crank was pretty cool, too.

After a picnic lunch, we headed to the puppet show.  No breeze.  Straight sun.
Not our favorite 30 minutes, but we made it!

After that, we went to explore some more.  This cool kaleidoscope was a fan favorite.

 

The sand art station held their attention even more, though.  

We did a few more stations, then ventured into the main Dallas Arboretum.  I took them to see the waterfalls and grotto.  They thought those were neat...

but these koi fish were the main attraction.

Well, that is, until we made it over to the big lawn.  They asked to run and play and we gave them the thumbs up.  They loved it!  So many cartwheels for the girls and wrestling moves for the boys.

By 1:00 we were making our way back to the bus.  By the grace of God, we didn't lose Cason or Santosh.  Great success!

I loved spending time with my favorite Kindergartener, too. She's just one cool cat.
