Mid-Columbia Library Field Trip

The last preschool field trip of the year was to one of our local libraries. This field trip included a tour of the library itself, having story time, creating a craft, and then getting a tour of the gardens. We left for Seattle immediately after the field trip (my Grandmother/Abby's Great-Grandmother was having a birthday party the next day celebrating her 95th birthday) and so we didn't stay to have a picnic lunch and play at the splash park or playground outside the library, but we still had a good time with what we were able to do.

Learning about the checkout and return stations.

Finding out where the DVDs and chapter books are kept.

Walking to the preschool book's section. I just thought it was sweet how Abby, who normally does everything she can to be line leader, randomly got picked by the librarian to be line leader for the day. I think it made Abby's day!

Getting their wiggles out by singing the wiggles song.

Abby following along with the hand motions of the book.

And getting into dancing along with everyone else.

Their craft was to create a pig that went along with the pig story there were read. Here she does a great job cutting along the lines.

And proudly writing her name so she knows which one is hers upon picking her pig up.

The finished pig product!

The garden tour was nice for a garden. I'll be honest and admit gardening really isn't my thing but Abby seemed to enjoy what she was looking at. The kids section of the garden included a Wizard of Oz and Where the Wild Things Are themes. Here the Dorothy and friends statues are on their way to the Emerald City.

Sitting in the Wild King's golden chair.

And Abby's a wild thing!

Continuing her tour of the garden AND her position as line leader.

At the end of the day there was another quick song and then the tour was done.
