A day at the science museum is the perfect field trip for Anna Kate! She came here almost every other week with Mrs. Paula in pre-k, so she had a blast showing me around her old stomping ground!

She knew all the fun things to do at each station. I had a blast watching her use all the learning tools correctly.

 

Anna Kate loves having Mike and me around! She’s actually a stick-tight and always has been. I hope it never changes, but I’m enjoying it while it lasts, just in case.

 

The dinosaur puzzle on the computer and interactive movie about the history of the earth were two of her favorite things!

 

And everything else! She’s our invention girl, our discovery girl, and I would be very surprised if she’s not some kind of builder/inventor/engineer in the future.

A trip to the grocery store is always a fun time (at the museum)! Anna Kate and Lila have been in the same class together for two years now, and they have a blast together!

 

I love watching the wheels turn in Anna Kate’s head. She catches on to everything super fast and her concentration is so sharp. The day we got home from the museum, she made a 3D character from a character she made up in a story she and her friends wrote on the bus. She found dice and made them into feet so it would stand up, which was so clever. But it’s not just this one burst of creativity. She’s making something super awesome every week for sure, sometimes more often. I’m continually blown away by her “inventions.” The recycle bin in our pantry is her favorite toy, along with Jon’s invention kit. I love when I see her digging through them, because I know she’s about to make something so cool! I’ll try to take more pictures, there’s just so many. Right now we have a covered wagon with a horse in our kitchen, an apple cleaning station for grocery stores to check, clean and place apples, a model of the Titanic made out of card board and toilet paper rolls—seriously you name it, Anna Kate can build it.

Love your unique creativity, Anna Kate! Keep doing your thing. No one does it better! Love you!
