Field Trips!

Hey everyone -
I'm so sorry I haven't blogged in a while - I will try and do a better job of this in the future!

The last couple of weeks, the kids and I have been going to several fun places in Denver and surrounding suburbs. We went to My Art Workshop, Denver Zoo, Hudson Gardens and swimming.

At My Art Workshop, they have a preschool option for 0-5 year-olds in which you pay a flat rate and they get to use all sorts of arts and crafts objects to create whatever you like. The kids were able to paint, make Father's Day cards, mosaics, create insects out of pipe cleaners and pom-poms, etc. They had a great time!

The zoo was a blast (as always!) but unfortunately, it started to rain, thunder and lightning while we were there so we had to leave early. But we did go to a wild animal show where birds of prey flew over our heads (this was my favorite thing!). The kids absolutely loved that part.

Hudson Gardens is in Littleton and is a great place to explore because of the beautiful gardens, wetlands, aquatic areas, miniature train depot and waterfalls. The kids and I found a couple of snakes, several large bullfrogs, many ducks and geese, fish and tadpoles. We also saw an older lady creating an oil pastel painting of the water lilies. Some of the staff there were cleaning out one of the aquatic areas and gave each of the kids a water lily flower. They lite up about that.

And then of course, you can never go wrong with swimming! That's always a hit. The weather here this month hasn't been truly a Colorado June so we're waiting for it to really kick in soon. Then we'll be able to go swimming more often.

Well, that's about it for now. Thanks for reading and enjoy your weekend!
