Since it was such a beautiful day we decided to take a Fall walk. We took a few bags with us and ventured out over to the wooded area, on the outskirts of the TBSCC parking lot. The children walked and picked up colorful leaves, acorns, sticks and believe it or not Jacob found a shell that you would find at the beach. As we filled the bags with interesting items from nature, we noticed there were large tree stumps that made great seats. The children took turns balancing and walking along the large thick branches that laid on the ground. At first some of the children were apprehensive and unsure of themselves as they attempted to climb onto the tree branches. With a little bit of encouragement the children climbed up on the branches, walked across the branches, climbed up the steep hill to the Temple parking lot and then climbed or scooted on their tush (what ever worked best and made them comfortable).
The risks the children took today were amazing! They were so proud of their accomplishments! Lily kept saying "Lauri are you going to tell my dad I did this?" All of the children kept saying, "Look at me!"
When we arrived back at the Temple everyone was tired and hungry including the teachers. We asked the children to share with the group their favorite part of the Fall walk...
Rachel-"Finding acorns and sitting on the tree stumps."
Max-"I liked hearing the dog ruffing and ruffing(we heard a dog barking as we explored the wooded area)."
Hannah-"Going onto the path."
Lily-"Climbing and balancing on the tree."
Jacob-"Climbing up the tree."
Dylan-"Climbing up the mountain (hill)."
Ezra-"Balancing on the tree."
Aviva-"Climbing up the tree and up the mountain."
Eliza-"Climbing in the tree."
Eli-"Climbing up the big mountain."
What a special day we all had!
