Trip to the Zoo

In September our monthly curriculum theme is Let's Go to the Zoo but we were too eager to wait until then to go to the zoo! A few weeks back momstown Winnipeg organized a field trip for moms and toddlers to the Assiniboine Park Zoo.

I think we moms enjoyed it more then the kids. I haven't been to the Winnipeg Zoo if quite a few years, so it was a nice visit. There are lots of renovations going on there. I was sad to see the petting zoo and paddle wheel gone, but I'm excited to see what will be put there in its place.

After we stopped for a picnic and the kids played in the playground. That was my daughter's favourite part of the zoo.

If you missed this event, we are going again in September. And it will be on the weekend so the working moms and dads can join us! Hope to see you there!

Honey Tour Field Trip

Last weekend a bunch of us momstown moms went on a field trip with our families to Marg's Strawberry Patch in Lorette.

We learned about where honey came from, saw the beehives and even saw the beekeeper hard at work in her ultra-protective outfit. After the honey tour we got to see some of the plants and trees that Marg's Strawberry Patch was growing, and learned which plants were growing what.

We also had a chance to see their working windmill. After that we stopped to have a picnic lunch and the kids played in the play yard. We even managed to plant seeds before the rain came.

We ended the day with some sampling of honey and of course most of us left with some honey that we purchased for ourselves. Yummy! Store bought honey does not compare!
