Yesterday we met up with Sofia's good friends Isabella and Milani at the Bob Jones Fall Festival. Bob Jones Nature Center is this great little hidden treasure in Southlake, near the edge of Lake Grapevine. It's a nature preserve that offers nature classes that include crafts, hikes, and lessons on various animals. Sofia has been taking Friday morning classes at Bob Jones since mid-September and has learned about Opossums, Butterflies, Hummingbirds, Raccoons, Owls, etc. She absolutely loves the classes and asks nearly everyday when she gets to go back to Bob Jones. It reminds me a lot of my experiences of science classes and hikes taken when I was growing up in central California. I love that she's getting to learn about nature in such a setting and wish I'd discovered it sooner.
At the Fall Festival they had a petting zoo, story time, a sand lot to dig around in, different crafts, and of course, face painting! Sofia can't pass up the chance to get her face painted and these were no ordinary face painters! They really did beautiful art on these kiddo's faces. So, we stood in line for maybe 30 minutes waiting to get a butterfly on Sofia's face. Finally, she made to one of the face painters and it was amazing to watch the lady work. By the end Sofia had a beautiful butterfly on her face and all three girls ended up getting butterflies!
