Winter Games Day @ Fairhaven Park 2-4-17

It's raining, it's pouring, let's go exploring! 

The Chickadees whole heartedly embraced the spirit of all-and-any weather exploration this Saturday in Fairhaven Park. The forecast looked gloomy, but as true explorers, the Chickadees came prepared with warm layers and a big sense of adventure! In our raincoats and boots, we traversed through the park in search for the perfect place to play games. And games did we play! Furry the Fircone, Run Rabbit Run, Otter Steals Fish, and Spider's Web were just a few of the games that the Chickadees reveled in.

We also built boats, created fairy villages, and played in the mud (as was evident by the state of our clothing at the end of the day)... Entering their second season with GEC, the Chickadees already play like pros and explore like experts.

In between all of the mudsliding and raucous laughter, we took time to notice the way that nature changes in the wintertime. The day gets shorter, the air is colder, and the plants and the animals have less energy. Since All Things Are Connected, we talked about how we, as people, are connected to this cycle and are also affected by the changing of the seasons. 

Often when it becomes cold and dark outside, we want to curl away and stay indoors. Some people call this the 'Winter Blues.' But the Chickadees coined a new phrase on Saturday: the 'Winter Pinks.' It's the feeling of joy that one gets when they play outside in the wintertime. Without a doubt, the Chickadees have got a case of the Winter Pinks!

Words (phrases) of the Day: Winter Pinks, Playing Games, Mud Princesses, Boats, Fairyhouses
