over the last few months things have not been very "fun" or exciting. so, i decided to sign ella up for something called nature tots through santa rosa parks and rec. today was our first day. our group meets at howarth park and the teacher had an "instruction" part where she passed around empty wasps nests and remaining skins and such of different insects for the kids to look at. she talked about different kinds of bugs and we read a book and sang a song. then she handed out little magnifying glasses for the kids to use on our bug hunt. ella loved this because she felt like a super sleuth! she got to see all kinds of rollie pollie bugs, spiders ants and of course, ducks! then we went back to the picnic area and the kids made spider webs out of pasta noodles. the girls had so much fun! on the way home ella recounted to me all the bugs and things she had seen with her "magazine" glass.
