Fejevary Park/Putnam Trip

In October, we took a trip to the new Fejevary Park and Putnam Museum. We really enjoyed playing in the new park and we really loved the museum too! Here are some great photos from our trip. Enjoy!
 
One of our FAVORITE things about field trips... Riding the bus!


 




 
We explored what was left of the vegetable and herb gardens.
 
We found some tomatoes.

We stopped and smelled some mint!

 Of course we had to take a picture with the big pig,
 
the bird house,
 
AND the butterfly chair!
 
We REALLY liked climbing the BIG rocks.
 

 

 
And pretending to be lions- RAWH!
 
The sandbox was VERY exciting.
If you dug deep enough you could find DINOSAUR FOSSILS!


She found one!
 
 
 There was also a large pile of stick some children used to build a "tent."
 
We all had fun at the park!
 
After we played at the park, we ate some lunch, then played inside the Putnam Museum at their new Light, Sirens, Action! exhibit. Oh did we have fun!
Dressing up like firemen!

Driving the firetruck!

Riding in the firetruck!
 
BOOTS!
 
 You're under arrest!

They got him!
 
 Laying on the gurney!
 
Stay tuned for more fun happenings in Ladybug Lane!
