Trains... and Caterpillars?

Our homeschool group met at Sehmel Homestead Park to continue our study of trains by drawing a train track with sidewalk chalk and pretending our bikes/trikes/scooters were trains. This went over fairly well, Loren has recently gotten very good at pedaling her trike and loved all the space to go "81 miles an hour!" We had a turn out of 5 kids (4 families) and they all rode their bikes around for at least a few minutes before getting distracted by the playground, sandbox, and finally a fuzzy wooley-bear caterpillar. I was excited to see one of these because I hadn't seen one in years and this was the first time Loren got to see one up close.
