Final Blog!

I started today out with some great adrenaline for the final session! Stacy Squirrel and I partnered up and we had an awesome hike. The kids were so excited and the parents were asking just as many questions. We even got to practice our Spanish in some explanations! The sun was great to us and it was a perfect closing hike.

And what followed after, was just as awesome. In the midst of the trampoline like ground, with water all around me, I was not sure if I enjoyed mat hiking. But upon completion, with my soaked shoes and my sweaty face I felt accomplished and unbeatable! Hiking on water was about the coolest thing ever.

Beyond today, I know that I will miss my time at Merry Lea and will treasure the skills it has taught me. Each day I acquire more ideas for the class room as well as knowledge about the outside. I have also been reminded of the sheer joy of playing! All month, after classes I get a chance to play outside with my friends and it is just great. This class as a great reminder that you are never to old to play!

Thanks Paul!
