Today was an amazing day, and wasn’t even a planned field trip. We decided that we would go to the playground(s) early because weather called for showers in the afternoon. So off we went with the kids favorite sing along CD playing. We started off in Gorham at the Great Falls School playground. Once the five of them got tired of that one, but wanted to go to another playground, I decided to make it a “Playground(S) day”. So next we went to Portland to Deering Oaks Park. They have a nice playground, as well as a Duck pond with a duck house and huge sprinkler AND the best thing was, there is a wading area for kids to run around and get wet, while surprise Sprinklers pop up everywhere. (It changed a lot since I used to play there). Onto Westbrook’s Park on Main Street for more fun and energy releasing. Then on to what I thought was going to be the final Park of the day, was the one on Morrill Ave in Gorham, near the High School. They have a unique car to play on, and the kids used it to “get to the grocery store” and back. Once we were loaded back in the vehicle, I listened to how hot the kids were. So I decided to surprise them with one more park. We went to Shaw Park in Gorham and the kids went swimming and got cooled off. We saw Ducks, squirrels, a baby snapping turtle and a horsefly. Today was a ton of fun as well as educational. If the kids are as tired as I am, their parents should have an early night. I took over 250 pictures and I couldn’t upload them all, but I know I did go overboard with the total I did upload. Enjoy them!!!
