Little pig, little pig

Pigs, dirt, stumps and cupcakes...

What a beautiful spring day! We got a lot accomplished today and still managed to spend over an hour outside!

The first little pig made his house out of straw!

Sand Box Grand Opening

Happy Birthday Madden!

Where did these stumps come from?!

Look how tall I am!

The science of the playground

This bucket of sand sure "WEIGHS" a lot.

Physics

Teamwork

Inertia and Gravity and Balance
(and a healthy fear of....?? "watch out the taco truck is coming") 

                     

Biology and Geology

Making waves to bring water to the river

Where is the water from the puddle/lake going?

FRIENDSHIP!

What can we do with mud!?

We sat on the steps outside and tolled about the uses of mud. Some animals and people use mud to build there homes. Some animals, like pigs use it for sunblock. Kids use it to cook!




We cut out flowers to hang in our garden!



Of course there is always a little time for the gnomes!

Mud, mud glorious mud

Why is mud so irresistible to children? A whole driveway to explore and they are all huddled around one puddle!



Hiding from the wind...


Racing the dump truck down the hill, which usually lands it directly in the puddle.




The animals are thirsty.. Mmmm. Mud Water.






If only it were warm enough to splash and really play in the puddles!
