It was a hot day. The kind you move in slow motion without even being aware of it. We had a trip to a local historical Huron native village with Aria's preschool. Many of the families whose children attend are homeschoolers so there were kids of all ages. This is a trip we enjoy taking, and is one we make a few times during the year. With the heat we all just staggered from station to station until one person perked with a little energy and then slowly moved on. The large pestel and mortar type grain grinder and the lacrosse stick were two such interest points. After a break for some water under a tree we hiked around the lake, seeing widow dragonflies, butterflies, a snapping turtle, cedar waxwings, finches, leopard frogs and fish. We enjoyed a nice picnic lunch in the shade.
The teacher has become an important part of our family's community and a special friend to Aria. It will be hard for Aria not to go over the summer months, but she has vowed to attend the preschool until she is an adult at which point her teacher can come as a student and she will take over. They both thought it was the perfect arrangement.
