E is for ELEPHANTS!

After college, I spent some time in Kenya.  While there, I did research on elephants and was able to see them in their own habitat throughout Amboseli National Park and Tsavo National Park.  It was a once in a lifetime experience.  They are so big, so graceful, such magnificent creatures!  I would love to share my pictures, however, it was pre-digital.  It's truly hard to believe that it was 12 years ago!  

I never thought I would allow my girls to ride an elephant!  But, we met up with Grandad at a local zoo to celebrate his birthday and one thing led to another...

I must admit, I rode an elephant at this exact zoo 20 years ago! 

Ride on over to Ben and Me to see other fun Letter E activities, crafts, fieldtrips, etc! 

Storytime From A to Z: Green Eggs and Ham

This particular week at Coop, the Storytime From A to Z letter was "E" and the book was Green Eggs and Ham.

 

After reading the book, we completed an adorable Pinterest find (free printable for the activity)!  

 Rhyming green eggs 

Then, we made Oobleck, another Pinterest idea! 

They girls had a blast playing with the ooey gooey slime!
