Music, Bugs and the Hahn's Peak Cemetery

This week was so much fun! 
On Monday, we worked on our walking path around the preschool and also got to check out the really neat bike path at the Charter School (courtesy of the fire dept.!). It was pretty neat! 
Tuesday, we loaded up the van and headed south for Strings! We were excited to hear the music of Essence (check out her website here!). She sang some silly songs about life and adventures and her giant dog named Moo! The campers loved it all and especially loved dancing to her tunes. 


Wednesday, we went up to the Hahn's Peak Cemetery. We had planned on some service activities, and the kids were really excited to collect some sticks and also collect flowers for the tombstones. We learned about rubbings and also talked about the various families, war veterans and others who are laid to rest there. Today, we went to Steamboat Lake Park and worked with the naturalist, Miss Emily to catch some bugs! We caught: moths, butterflies, pointy-tailed bee flies, caterpillars, ants, a dragon fly, beetles and grasshoppers! The kids were absolutely thrilled to use the big nets and trap the bugs. Then we put them in jars so we could examine them before letting them go again. 

Its been a great week! I have enjoyed every minute of it and I know the kids have too! Here are some pictures highlighting out week. 
Enjoy!
