Today, we visited the Myriad Botanical Gardens in Oklahoma City. It was really neat! They had lots of flowers, trees, and plants of all kinds as well as some animals such as parrots, lizards, and butterflies.

Today we were going to go to the Orr Family Farm (an agri-entertainment farm), but when we got there we found out it is only open from 6:00pm to 8:30pm, and it was 3:00 in the afternoon. So, we did some quick thinking and decided to make of the the day we missed a couple of weeks ago and go to the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History. We had a really great time seeing all of the dinosaurs and they have a terrific kids "discovery" place!

Today, we did Circle Time and reviewed all the previous letters, words, and signs and then headed off to the zoo. We got to see a lot of animals even though it was really hot outside. Lyna used a lot of her signs (cat, bones, elephant, etc.). I was proud of her for doing that. She also asked what other animal signs were. Unfortunately, I am not fluent in ASL, I am learning with her, so I have to look those up for her now. Here are a few pictures I got from today before my camera battery ran out.

Today was a sick day. We were sad to have to miss our trip to the Museum of Natural History, we may try to make it up next weekend.

We had Randi Kay again with us today, she really loves Circle Time! Both of the kids were good for Circle Time. We had plans of cloud watching in the morning today, but here was the sky this morning...
Yep, only blue, no clouds! So, instead we printed out some pictures of clouds and talked about the different kinds. We also reviewed all of the letters, vocabulary, and signs we have learned thus far this year. This afternoon we went on a field trip to a friend's house to the their chicken coop. The kids really loved this! So much so, that afterwards they were pretending that their car seats were their nests and they were chickens. They then went on to build their own "chicken coop" when we got home. They love chickens!

And just for fun...here is the sky now...
Of course! So, we may have to go out after Lyna's nap and cloud watch for a bit.

We had a good circle time today. We then went on a field trip to ride the boats at the Bricktown Canal. We had fun, it was a beautiful day! Alyna was tired, she hadn't had a nap, so she was a bit temperamental, but we still had a good time! Here are some pictures...

Friday- 9/7/2007

Today, was our "Fun Friday" day. We started the day, as always, with Circle Time. Lyna was able to tell me the fairytale "Sweet Porridge" with help from the pictures we had made earlier in the week. We then went on our field trip to the Omniplex Science Museum to learn about astronauts. Unfortunately, the air and space part of the museum is currently under renovation, so we didn't get to see much, only the few exhibits that were still in the open areas. But, we had fun anyways...Here are some pics...
