Hi everyone -
It's crazy to me that the end of September is here - I can hardly believe it! I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. The kids and I will be heading out on a nature hike to look for fall colors. We'll be doing some crafts with our collection, including leaf rubbings and leaf collages.
I am a nature girl at heart, so I have one little green tip for those of you who like to collect leaves too (and this time of year many elementary kids are doing leaf collections). When collecting leaves, its important to takes the ones that have already fallen off the tree. Those that are still attached to the tree are being used by the tree and are still very necessary. Just a thought I wanted to put out there!
Enjoy the beautiful fall weather!

Wildlife Experience
Hi everyone -
Today was a fun day for the kids and I as we ventured out to The Wildlife Experience in Parker. We had time to explore the Discovery Den (the avalanche was the kid's favorite part there), Cub Corner (one of the little ones dressed up as a skunk), the new Globeology exhibit and an IMAX film called "Wild Safari". We had a great time learning and discovering new animals and their habitats. Needless to say, we had no problems at nap time today - they were exhausted!
Have a great weekend and thanks for reading -

Tiny Town
Hi everyone -
Yesterday was a fun day for us at Monarch Kids. We took a field trip to Tiny Town - this is located near Morrison, CO and is such a fun place for babies and toddlers. I highly recommend it. Everything there is miniature sized. They have buildings such as school houses, churches, fire stations, libraries, saloons, gold mines (mostly to reflect Colorado's rich history)...all built to such a small scale. Its perfect for little ones because they don't have to be picked up all the time to see in a building - its all on their level. But the biggest highlight by far is the train ride around the property. The kids heard the "choo choo" and got SO excited! The train ride lasts about 10 minutes and goes through the town but also over the creek that runs through the property. They definitely wanted to go again. Tiny Town also has a refreshment stand, picnic areas and a playground - so you can make a full day of it. The kids were exhausted after their time there. Its certainly worth the drive!
