G is for GREAT Aunts!

The girls have been begging to ride a train.  So, their Great Aunt and I surprised them with an Amtrak ride to visit their Great Great Aunt! 

 

Waiting for the train! 

We all had a fun time on the train!  

It's only a 90 minute car trip, but it was so much cooler riding the train, which took us about 3.5 hours!

We had a great time at the park with Great Aunt Nora and Great Great Aunt Harriet.

 

 

Four Generations!  

Great Aunt Harriet, 84 years old has never looked so good!  

I'm so happy that my girls were able to spend some time with their super duper GREAT aunts! 

 Waiting for the train to head back home after a memorable visit!

Ride over to Ben and Me to see other Letter G activities, crafts, fieldtrips, etc!

Storytime From A to Z: Letter G

This particular week at Coop, the Storytime From A to Z letter was "G" and the book was Good Night Gorilla. This book is a favorite in our house!  My girls love to retell the story over and over!

 

 After completely the phonics activity from the  Storytime From A to Z book, we acted out the story using these Story Props from Kiz Club, which has a ton of story props for a variety of books.  

Here are a few other great ideas from Pinterest.
