today has been just as busy but we actually did less stuff. got up this morning and mom was once again full of go go go. i had a bowl of my sugar coated crunchie pillows and it was jump in the car time. mom drove us to the park were we went hunting for shark's teeth last week. we were a little early but eventually a couple cars pulled up and kids got out. hi kids. today we went up with some of the gainesville homeschoolers.
everyone got their gear together and we set off into the woods. mom held my field notebook and she took notes of the different things we saw. she took some pictures too. my current obsession is mushrooms. every time i saw a mushroom i insisted mom snap a picture of it. after about 30, she gave up. there were lots of mushrooms. we also saw a bunny, hiding in the trees. there was a small fish pond with a bunch of goldfish swimming around. while we were looking at fish a frog kept talking. it sounded like a tree frog, no one could find him though. we saw some flowers and a couple butterflies. at the end of the walk mom saw a red crested woodpecker. i didn't see him though. i was too busy jumping on ant hills.
when the walk was done we all gathered at the picnic tables and had snacks. we talked about the different things we collected on our walk and made some leaf rubbing in our notebooks. pretty fun day.
when our meeting was done everyone said good bye. mom and i went down to the creek. we're hunting for shark's teeth! well mom's there to hunt shark's teeth. i'm all about splashing in the water, seeing if things float and generally making a mess. i was soaking wet and covered in sand before mom even made it into the water.
we spent about 2hrs slashing about in the water. mom found a bunch of teeth. i found a couple clam shells. so i kind of helped.
mom and i trudged back to the car. how are we going to get home if we're soaking wet and covered in sand? mom pulled a big bottle of water out of the trunk. she made me take all my clothes off and splashed me down with water- i'm clean! then she pulled out some dry clothes for me to put on. awesome. mom washed the sand off her feet and home we went.
back at the house mom gave me a quick bath just to make sure i was totally clean. i had my hair washed and everything. mom got her shower. we had some pizza for a late lunch. what a fun day. i asked mom to put on toy story. so we watched that for a bit before we both fell asleep on the couch.
dad's home now. this day went super quick.
