We took advantage of the warmer weather and walked all the way to the Sculpture Park with Dogwood! The kids were quite excited to go play at another space today with one another. The Sculpture Park is always an intriguing place because of the giant mosaic bird right in the middle! Every kid immediately runs to it and begins to climb around and look at all of the beautiful tiles.
While climbing around today though, L noticed a teeny tiny friend hanging out.
"LOOK! It's a grasshopper!"
L got super excited and began telling the others about what he saw. He attempted to have the grasshopper climb on his finger, but the poor little thing got spooked and jumped right onto my shoulder! I screamed, of course, and he then jumped into the surrounding grass.
From there, the kids continued to play like the small insect they observed. They all began hopping around the grass, pretending to eat, and take rests.
It's fun to watch kids engage in pretend play, especially like something they just experienced. Instead of becoming upset that the insect hopped away, they made a game out of it. So clever! Such a great way to spend our afternoon.
We will see you all on Wednesday!
