Emily's Preschool Picnic

Emily's preschool class met today at Gring's Mill for a picnic before school ends for the year. Her last day is Tuesday. :(

Alicia, Ethan and I were also able to go and spend time with Emily and the rest of her class. We all had a really good time too.

Gring's Mill is an absolutely beautiful park in Wyomissing. A river (I'm not sure which one) runs through the park, so there are geese, ducks and fish (we didn't see any fish) to look for. There is a big stone turtle, named Tully, which was a big hit. The kids really had a good time sitting on the turtle and posing for pictures. Ethan especially was really intrigued with the turtle.

We all walked across a big bridge which goes over the river and took lots of pictures. The kids gave almost gave me a few heart attacks leaning over the edge to look for fish, but I eventually calmed down. :) I can be a little overprotective ( I also have a hard time not imagining things like my children falling over the side) They were fine though.

The whole group of us went for a long walk. I think it only felt long. and then we all went back to a play area to have a picnic and play some games.

After a minor incident,(Emily bumped her head on the monkey bars) the class had a great time listening to a story and playing games. They even had a peanut scramble, and then..... chocolate cake! Yummm!!!!

Ethan made a new friend, Heath, :) and they had a great time sword fighting with sticks. Alicia even made a new friend, Conner.

The kids slept all the way home, which is a sure sign that they had a great time!
