Preschool and Field Trips

For the past four weeks we have been participating in what is called "Joy School" with a few other families who also have 3-year-old children. It's something of a grassroots preschool program where the moms take turns hosting and teaching the class of preschoolers each week.

Today we had our first of monthly field trips where we combined with the 4-year-olds. The location of choice was the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln, MA. Aside from the weather being a little chilly, it was a fabulous outing. The art is definitely modern but really interesting. The kids ran around and looked at the sculptures until we caved to the cold weather and headed home (we're getting over colds here so too much chilly weather probably isn't the best idea).

Here are some pictures and a cute video of the kids playing with one of the "sculptures." I hope to go back sometime soon when it's a little nicer outside!

The grounds at the DeCordova are absolutely GORGEOUS! Here's a very pretty tree.
