Today was out of this world! We celebrated Outer Space Day, rocking tons of space, stars, planets, astronaut, and rocket ship fashion. We then went on a rocket ship adventure and explored Baby Virginia Planet with Dawn, made an obstacle course with Dominique, painted more bag decorations with Holly, and were Elsa's cleaning helpers. We also read books, built houses out of magnatiles, wore clever disguises, fed our babies our special dirt stew, went on a worm hunt, came up with theories to explain the mystery of the disappearing water in the hole, played chasing aliens, and spent some time getting to play with our new friend, Aimee, who will be joining us on Wednesdays next fall. Our scrumptious snack for today was chocolate chip banana bread, watermelon, and oranges. Please enjoy these photos from our magical day! Love & Light, Dawn VELS: - Domain 1.
