joggins!

 yesterday, nate and i spent the day out at joggins. ive heard of the place from my bro and jess but haven't gone myself. it was super fun!  it was over cast but didn't rain! thank goodness. we had an interpreter with us for a good 45 mins and inside time to discover the discovery center, we had lunch and the kids dug out their own fossils

i was impressed with the building, very educational and informative

 the kids were divided up by ages, there was a great response to the field trip.  over 50 kids were there
n and m taking in the view before we started

 heading off to the beach

 our guide. this guy was amazing!  he was patient with the kids and was passionate about joggins. he knew so much information. he took us along the beach and showed us all the details i would have missed... what impressed me the most was that he took the time and answered every kid's question, the kids would bring him pieces of rocks and what every they discovered and he would tell us what it was. he is a walking encyclopedia! 

 nate found his fossil and was very excited to show me. ha

 the kids doing their fossil finding

 nate was impressed

the drive was 1.5 in all. it was a nice country drive. what i liked most about it was the quality time nate and i had to talk. i let him talk away, i love learning about my kid. i like hearing his thoughts and having the time to just spend with him.  focusing on him!  love him!
