-Went to church. Astrid drew a beautiful picture of a goat in Sunday school.
-The girls played while I made lunch (and set my recipe book on fire!)
-We walked down to Queen's for the "Green Up" festival. We looked at a few of the booths and then went to the children's room. The girls got to look at skulls of different animals and guess which animals they belonged to. They also got to look at and touch a stuffed beaver and things made by different insects (a hornet's nest, trails made in a piece of wood by bark beetles, bug homes in goldenrod, cocoons, etc...) The woman working there was very good at interacting with the kids and sharing information with them. They then made little seed pots out of old toilet paper rolls which they decorated and planted sunflower seeds in. They got to do a few activities surrounding sustainable energy such as power fans by peddling exercise bikes, shine lights on little cars made of solar panels to make them go and take readings of different light bulbs by hooking them up to a little device which measured how many watts they used.
-We walked home again and then went over to the Baetz's for dinner and a visit. The girls played with Jonah and Sammy.
