So the time has come all to quickly to make decisions about preschools and extracurricular activities...how did my baby get so big. Matt and I made the decision that in our opinion many parents schedule their kids with to many things at a young age and then there is less time for the parents to spend teaching kids and hopefully building relationships that will last much longer than any extracurricular activity. So we decided to for go all the extras for this year and participate in a "joy" school. We are doing 2 separate groups to have smaller groups for lessons but will do our monthly field trips together. For September we are doing L is for leaves and we started with a nature hike. We took a short hike in which we saw several different kinds of seeds that they collected in their bags to show everyone at the top. Once to the top the kids played in the stream, ate peanuts(a seed) and apples(with seeds) while doing some exploring. The kids had a blast and it was fun to get out in the fresh air.

Gracie was so good and got so excited when I put her in her carrier. She excitedly flapped her arms and legs most of the hike.
Hallie loved playing in the water
