StellaDella’s kindergarten class was supposed to have their field trip to the zoo today, but the weather was not cooperating.  Instead, they implemented “Plan B” and went bowling and then to a park to eat lunch under a pavilion.  Did I mention, that in a moment of weakness, I volunteered as a parent chaperone?  Luckily, there were quite a number of us and I only had to keep an eye on 3 kiddos.  It was misting and very chilly at the park, but the kids did not mind.  They played in the fenced-in wooden playground for about an hour and had a blast.  I was able to quickly snap this picture while they were running around in a gigantic game of tag.
