During my 5 day weekend last weekend {Yes, I said 5 day weekend! Vacation day on Friday to wrangle some little boys. Saturday and Sunday were helping with and attending/dancing my friends wedding. Monday was a holiday. Tuesday was my comp day.} I was invited to crash a card party of some friends on Friday night. :) I talked 3 of the moms into letting me take 5 of the 6 girls (because 1 was too old for the activity, and the other mom has 2 boys...no girls) to Reiman Gardens for story time. My ride was almost filled to the max. Just 1 empty seat...shot gun. We all got loaded up, buckled up, and strapped into any needed carseats.
Our time started out with the kids coloring a picture of a frog, followed by 2 books that were read to them.
Then it was craft time! The theme of the stories was about insects and frogs eating them.
The craft was making a plate of insects.
We eventually made our way to tour the rest of the gardens, via a quick trip to Target for some sunscreen and stopping by B-Bop's for lunch.
Where we saw lots of 'giant' insects!
Who's afraid of a big spider?!
Well, one of the gals wasn't a big fan of it. :)
Checking out the dragonfly in the pond.
Showing their sassy selves!
The dragonfly with a couple of ants in the background.
Now back inside, we took a quick! trip around a room {that I forgot the name of} and saw some ants on parade!
Our last stop for the day, the Butterfly Wing. Again, this was a quick trip through, because it was so hot/humid.
All in all, we had a fabulous time! I think the ladies were good and tired by the time they got home. I know I was tired!
Thanks moms for letting me take your girls on a fun girly outing
Let's do it again. :)
