Today’s field trip was to Southwick’s Zoo! We had a quick circle before loading the busses. Once there, we were able to see the animals.

The petting zoo was a hit! Many kids and staff loved the baby goats. The monkeys came to play – there was even a baby swinging around! The tigers and lions were tired in the heat.

In the deer forest the deer were eating. Many kids got to feed them and get up close with them which was incredibly fun!

Tomorrow is our last day of with the Sunshine Group this summer. While we are sad to see another summer end, we are ecstatic for the carnival!! Please have kids wear clothes they do not mind getting wet as there will be many water options.

We appreciated the cool weather today! While the water slide was not set up, we did utilize the slip and slide along with the foam machine.

Many of our Groups ended up intermingling today, which was great. We spent lots of time on the playground and in the field playing games like keep it up, parachute, and Olympic themed games.

Crafts included colorful salt art, playdough, marble run, and paper crafts like foam fingers.

Groups had choices like sand box, foam machine, slip and slide, basketball, and playground.

Overall it was a fantastic day! We are very excited for Southwick tomorrow!

Today was a hot one so every Group utilized water games!

Yellow and Green Groups played hot potato sponge, drip drip drop, and rabbit hole. During craft they made a ball in cup game and played with playdough. Choice was basketball and water slide!

Orange Group had a choice between water slide and sandbox. They made pasta necklaces, foam fingers, and played with playdough. For field they created a human chain with hula hoops and had a potato sack race!

Red Group used playdough and made Olympic ring glasses. They also played a relay race, water tag, and used the water slide!
