Fernbank Field Trip

Hayden had her first field trip in 1st grade today.  We went to Fernbank and watched the IMAX about the butterflies and explored the museum.  I rode with Stephanie and when the bus got there we got our girls and they were so excited.   Hayden, Kierstin and Kendall spent the whole day together.  Hayden and Kendall are in the same class and have gotten to be best friends this year, and Kierstin is her best friend too so Hayden was a very happy girl.  Kendall's Mom is really nice and it was fun for us Mommies to talk and get to know each other too.  The movie kind of made all of us a little bit dizzy but it was a good movie with lots of learning involved.  Of course, our girls learned that the fire ants ate and killed the caterpillar.  Go figure, Right!  They also learned other things but that is what stuck out the most.  The thing they loved the most in the museum was the bubbles.  Again, Go figure, but they were really neat and very big.  They were so cute together and could be pretty silly at times.  After hours of exploring we decided to go have lunch at the Varsity and Kendall and her Mom joined us too.  They were so excited!  It was a good lunch and we all had fun.  It was a very fun field trip!

Thank you so much Aunt Linda for being at my house at 7:45 this morning and keeping Gracie and Colton all day.  You have no idea how much I appreciate it.  Of course they had the best time ever...they made cookies, jewelry, played outside and cleaned out the sand box.  They are so lucky to have such a wonderful Aunt Linda. 

Also thanks to Aunt Kim for watching Colton this afternoon while Hayden had Softball practice.  Again, no one will ever know how much it helps out and how much I appreciate it.  Also, thanks to Mimi for making sure Gracie didn't miss ballet tonight, since it was at the same time as Softball.  We are one blessed family to have so many Aunts and Mimi helping us out.  See I told you I need 3 of me to go around!!!

Hayden did great at Softball practice.  She will be playing 3rd base and because she is the only one that he puts in that position, she also has to hit last.  She hit pretty good last night, but not as good as she does at home.  She had one really good hit at the end.  Coach wouldn't even let her use the T, he just gave her pitches.  The one thing that made me so proud was how fast she ran last night.  Last season we had to keep telling her and all the other girls to RUN faster, she really did last night.   Her team is the DUCKS and it will be green and yellow shirts with black pants for their uniform.
