Ladybugs released

This afternoon, there was a special event at Sophia and Avery's school to celebrate the Week of the Young Child.  Each of the learning groups had special t-shirts and their own style of ladybut hat.  Here are the Tiger Cubs.  Sophia is center front row. Cousin Leo was not into wearing a hat or special t-shirt, his transformer yellow car was most important today.

Getting so many preschoolers and parents ready for a walking field trip was very much like, as Dave would say, "herding cats."  And I remembered why I'd always been drawn to teaching students in the upper grades.

Why walk when you can get a ride?

Capitol Park Rose Garden. The capitol dome is barely visible in the background.

Avery probably enjoyed the drinking fountain more than the ladybugs.
