Science Museum Field Trip and the Bunny Savers

In May, Wesley's class took a trip to the Science Museum and Omni Theater. I only had my phone, so these aren't the best pictures. We enjoyed looking at the dinosaur exhibit, shooting water guns outside, and visiting the fun zone that had a pretend supermarket, construction area and trolley car. We ate our sack lunches outside by the fountain and then got to enjoy the film "Flight of the Butterflies" at the Omni. I think I was more excited about going on this trip than Wesley and it did not disappoint!









We've had a lot of bunnies in our yard since Owen has become older and less of a threat. We have many bunny holes in our backyard and sometimes we even see little baby bunnies sticking out of them. One day it was time to mow the yard, and I was nervous about running over a baby bunny that was too small to know to run away from the lawn mower. John Mark took on the task and did come across a baby bunny that was not moving when the mower came near. And so, we had the baby bunny savers come to the rescue. We made a little cage for it out of a shoe box and put some grass in it. John Mark picked it up, and kept holding on even when the bunny made the most awful squealing noise. The bunny made it safely to the shoe box until JM finished mowing. Then Wesley and Curtis got to come be a part of the release. The bunny was too scared to do anything once we opened the box, so we got to watch it for awhile before the wind blew the box over and it ran away.
