Outdoor classtime at Marymoor and Crossroads

We have had such a wonderful time at the last two park trips.  The kids just love running about chasing butterflies, bunnies and squirrels.  At Crossroads Park, we took care of our garden, played golf, went on a nature scavenger hunt, decorated rocks and ate fresh snap peas.  We also visited Marymoor Park!  What a great space to run and run and run!  The kiddos watered the plants, ate raspberries, carrots, and lettuce!  I took them on a walk around the community garden to show them how the vegetables look before they are picked.  We smelled garlic blooms (beautiful), felt the leaves of radishes, observed nasturnums, and so much more.  There were quite a few plants I couldn't identify.  We played volleyball, soccer and even hopped around in sacks.  Before leaving, we took the bird trail hoping to see birds, but we only saw a few.  The parks are a great way to take learning outdoors.
