Day #287

Finally!! Leah's class got to take their Fall walk. After about 4 attempts that were cancled due to rain or cold weather. They finally got to do their walk. It was a nice beautiful morning. And we took a walk around campus. Looking at different types of trees, from the Buckeye tree to the Oak tree, to the Ginkgo tree or the female Ginkgo tree we call the "Stinko Tree" because of the rancid smelling fruit the tree produces. To the bridge to throwing "Poohsticks" in to the water on the up stream side to run to the down stream side to watch the sticks float down the Delaware run. This was my second and probably last time to attend Mrs. Warnock's fall walk, and this was Leah's second time on this walk I just found a photo of her when she went with me when I went for Nate's class. We even passed my the "Big Green Roofed" building on campus which is a landmark for the kids, this building is where Leah's Aunt Wendy works. And when we asked Leah what her Aunt Wendy was probably doing right now, she replied... " Probablly sleeping on the couch in her office!" The adults got a kick out of that!

It is great to see the kids learn about nature and they love looking for the treasures that they can pick up, touch, feel, smell and put in their bags.

And on the walk back to school, they really enjoyed walking by the Pappa John's pizza shop and smelling the pizza being cooked!

Thank you Mrs. Warniock for teaching & creating memories for both of our children. We were lucky to have you for Nathan, but really lucky to have you as Leah's teacher her final year too. Thank you for allowing me to come along and capture the moments for you. But ultimately the memories for me and my family to treasure for years to come!
