Preschool Field Trip

At the end of April, Tyler had a field trip with his preschool class to the Museum of Science downtown. Tim took Nathan along for some errands that morning so that I could focus 100% on Tyler during his field trip.

Tyler made friends with lots of the kids in his class this year, particularly with the boys, so he was excited to see his friends outside of their normal school routine. We spent most of the time working on a scavenger hunt around the museum and then we had a session in the Discovery Room where a very entertaining leader told the kids about different animals. In the Discovery Room they had the opportunity to touch different reptiles. Tyler passed on touching a big lizard and a beetle, but he did touch a turtle and he even held a piece of petrified dinosaur poo!
