Field Trip to Sugarhouse Park with CFDC

Dear Olivia, I find it such a treasure to watch you when you are with your preschool group. Today was one of those opportunities where we did not have Fey, who has the chicken pox, so Maddox and I spent it with you at Sugarhouse Park to culminate the end of your "birds" lessons that you have been learning about for the past couple of weeks. You were pleased to have me there (which I felt better about since you had a dream of me that wasn't pleasant this past night), and you held my hand and stuck close to me to feed the ducks. Maddox and you grabbed some bread, dodged the poop, and threw to your hearts delight. Minus the fact that the geese, ducks, and even seagulls were quite full and uninterested, you enjoyed yourselves quite immensely. Another moment was watching you sit on your school blanket to listen to a story and sing a song. The song was "Five little ducks," which happens to give you lots of smiles. We then went on a scavenger hunt after learning what birds use to make nests. You headed for the pine tree that dips low to the ground, one of your delights, and instead of finding nest particles, you enjoyed the cool hideout of the tree. We commenced by the playground where you climbed the monkey bars, but your favorite activity after snack was flying the kites and playing parachute games. You played with your friends, Alli and Lauren. We walked back with the mommas and you, the girls and Maddox spent a few moments chasing a beautiful butterfly. Something that I felt happy about because those are the rare childhood moments that are the most important. Carefree and happy. Running and chasing after the beauties of the earth. Thank you for a great morning. You are growing so fast. You are smart, creative, fun-loving, a peacemaker, selfless, and a joy to be around. With love, Your mama.
