Two Weeks’ Worth of Field Trips (a 7QT post)

I know you have all been dying to find out how our summer plan is going, right? Well, chores are a mixed bag; the gratitude list went great for four days and then we got busy, but I am determined to persevere. And field trips? Ah, field trips. 🙂

___1___

Week one: reptiles and a picnic with Daddy

Venus June 5 2012 004 — Skeleton of a sea turtle, and three children who look like angels, even though two of them are trying hard to escape Mommy.

___2___

Snapping turtle with Julianna — We went to see snakes, mostly, but somehow turtles just photograph better, don’t you think?

(the picnic pictures weren’t all that great, thus their absence)

___3___

Week two: Mommy-Alex date with Venus

Venus June 5 2012 016 — The observatory dome open at rush hour, in preparation to watch Venus cross the sun

Bonus field trip: picnic and playground

021 — Michael’s first time in a swing! Good thing Nicholas is around to push, so Mommy can man the camera.

___7___

039 — Alex, AKA Iron Man, chased down the waterfall by Super Girl

Bonus Take: when you have a priest friend over for dinner….

048 — That Android is MINE, Padre. MINE.

These are great! Love it that you went to the observatory to see Venus, and the photo of Michael-in-a-swing is so cute! He looks so chilled and happy. 🙂

For some reason I LOVE to see priests holding babies. 🙂

Doing a field trip with one child is such a great idea. What a special memory for both of you!

We hardly ever get to take advantage of the astronomical possibilities, so it was nice that my husband gave us the chance. I love having a child old enough to share those kinds of things with.
