Today was Milo's class trip to Sesquicentennial State Park. Despite the blustery and unseasonably cool weather the boys and I had a lot of fun. Calder, Milo, and his classmates played around while we waited for everyone to arrive.
Then the park ranger spoke to the class about the animals that live in Sesqui and displayed a number of animal pelts for the children to touch. Calder refused to touch any of the pelts; "Uh uhhh, Mommy" was his constant refrain. Milo payed close attention to the park ranger and was only one of three children to speak when the ranger asked if any of the students had questions. Speaking first, Milo asked how fast the deer could run. The ranger's unscientific answer was "fast." Milo's friend Lucia told the ranger that she saw a raccoon in Buford, gesturing how small it was, and Milo's friend Hallie told the ranger she was hungry.
Afterwards Milo's teachers, Ms. Becky and Ms. Stephanie led the class on a short walk in the woods, past the lake and a little waterfall. Amazingly, no one fell in or got wet.
We topped off our day with milk shakes and a visit to the library. Two of Milo's favorites.

Dear Milo,
Yes, deer can run fast,but a more accurate answer is that most deer can get up to 35 miles per hour and can jump over 7-8 foot fences.......not bad for a wild animal
