Nathan's school had a field trip last week where they got to go to a lake and go fishing. One of the perks of being a speech therapist at an elementary school is that you get to pick and choose which field trips you want to go on. Utah Fish and Game dumped a bunch of fish in the lake for the kids. We wanted Avery to have the experience of touching a fish, but she didn't seem too keen on the idea:
The weather was so cold and rainy, but the kids didn't seem to mind. Once the kids caught a fish, they took it over to be gutted and put in a bag so they could take it home and eat it.
This is Nathan and Avery's favorite game when Nathan gets home from work. It's called Steamroller. :)
Nathan's parents came and stayed with us during the week. They got Avery a fun Playskool Ball Bopper toy for Avery's birthday. Now she knows that pushing the button will turn it on, but it was fun to watch the learning curve! You'll also notice Bunny, her new obsession. She's so funny -- she always has to have Bunny with her. I got the bunny in Middle School I think, and I just never threw it away. Thank goodness for Avery, eh? :)
It's been a fun week! I can't believe Avery's already 1! Nathan wanted to write the next post about his childhood dream come true (it also was an event at his school).
Watching Nathan play with Avery SO sounds like Josh. They really sound alike when they *ahem* giggle. Definitely equally nerdy...but equally fabulous dads.
ReplyDeleteAnd was that fish still wriggling after it had been gutted? That poor kid is going to be a lifelong vegetarian now. :-) Gotta love nature field trips!
