Field trip!

Today we went to Sunflower Farm southeast of Longmont for the annual kindergarten field trip. The farm is a place with a lot of typical rural animals (chickens, cows, llamas) and a few unusual ones (peacocks, a large tortoise). It's got a zip line, several crazy treehouses, rope swings, silos full of sandboxes, and generally lots of outdoor beauty. Here you can see the bug exploring the hay bale maze, which included several challenging board-across-big-gap sections. So lucky we had a gorgeous day for it!

What you can't see in this post is that yesterday on the playground she took a face plant after tripping on a shovel and got a bloody nose, several small gashes on her face, and a mouthful of wood chips, one of which got stuck in her gums according to another parent on the playground. She is recovering quite nicely and we are thankful the damage wasn't any worse. Adventure comes at a cost, I suppose.
