Hello again fellow bloggers. I would like to give a shout out to all the bloggers on this site who are seven days from completion.
Saturday morning was a lot of fun. Amy, Sara and I teamed up to deliver a great child adventure. Sara and I started them off with the scavenger hunt and then on our way to the first destination stopped by the Earth House Region and Amy got the children completely enticed to build their own Earth house.
This added a key element for the success of the scavenger hunt. The group went to south Kesling Meadows, Thomas Woods, Reith Village, Kesling Pond, Hayloft, garden, animal barn and finished in the kitchen for some icee pops. The group collected one, two and sometimes three items from first four destinations to later build their Earth houses. It was a good morning.
This afternoon I spent my last day with the YMCA Wolflake group. They had a fantastic time. The day was complete with using the nets to swoop up butterflies for a closer look, snatching tadpoles from the vernal pond and gazing at reptiles and amphibians in front of the observation tower. The father of two sisters, Lexie and Natalie, came to pick them up and commented when he saw the salamanders. He came to pick them up a few weeks back, when Amy taught an amphibian lesson, and saw salamanders for the first time. He said he had never been on the property and looked intrigued. He is hooked.
See you in the manana.
Holla!

I am glad to be in the home stretch. And happy you got to finally get your YMCA kids to ML.
ReplyDeleteGood job with the kids Ken. Hopefully this will continue to be a ML connection and part of the community building experience. It seems that ML is a well kept secret at times or people in the community really don't realize either that it is here or that the place is open to them even when there isn't programming.
