Spring Field Trips

This week we had two field trips with Gavin's class. The first was to Sanborn Park where we did a really nice shaded hike under the redwoods. We saw lots of critters including a big old banana slug. We had blueberry muffin snack with story time in the middle of a circle of redwood trees...pretty neat. The kids got to climb up a big old tree stump and slide down the side, on their bottoms on the dirt. What could be better;)

The second trip was to Pichetti Ranch in the Cupertino foothills. It was a pretty cool place we had never been...and a really neat hike. We hiked to a big pond, found tadpoles and newts, and then had story time about frogs. Gavin and Ryan helped make a big trail mix snack for the class...and got to wear frog hats during the story time. We ended the hike with a big loop up around the mountain and back to see the ranch (and of course chickens and roosters) before we headed home. The boys were TIRED after this one!
