Cicily's class went on some good fieldtrips this year! And lucky me and Sophie got to go with them!! Cicily's teacher invites us to go on each one.
Cicily and Sophie fishing in our local park lake. AZ game and fish stocked the lake and then invited some of the special education classes to come and fish. We didn't catch anything, but Cicily did get to bring home her own fishing pole!
Since this fieldtrip was all outside at a park, we decided to take Lucy. Cis was very happy to share her Lucy with her friends!! And most of her friends thought Lucy was pretty cool.
That is a butterfly on Cicily's head! We went to Butterfly Wonderland where they have an atrium full of exotic butterflies. It was pretty amazing!
Sophie marveling at this beauty. She just sat there admiring it for a long time!
Cicily's teacher invited Dad to meet the class at a park to teach them about archaeology. He buried some pottery sherds in the sand and the kids got to dig for them. A dream come true for Dad to teach his daughters' classes about archaeology (he was a guest speaker in Maya's class this year too). I love this picture of the kids out of their chairs, enjoying the sand. These women (teacher, Cicily's nurse, and aides) are truly amazing at taking care of and giving love to these kids.
State Fair! This fieldtrip was on Mom's birthday so we let Maya come along too. What an awesome way to spend my birthday afternoon! All the kids, especially Cicily, really like seeing all the animals on display. I love how some of the boys are being goofy in this picture. These kids are ALWAYS cracking each other up!!
Going to these fieldtrips I got to witness some very cool interactions between Cicily and her friends at school. One of the boys loves to give hugs! He likes to have Cicily's chair close to his so they can hug. At lunch one day Cicily was grabbing onto her friends chair and tipping her back. Her and her friend were both laughing hysterically. Another day Cicily put her hand on her friend's knee. I rarely see this boy smile, but as soon as Cis put her hand on his knee, he had a big grin. They just communicate in a different way than us. I love that they understand each other. They're like a special little family. Cicily loves it!!! And so do I.
