We had a fun weekend. On Saturday we went to the Russian American Kids Circus performance in Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg. I was not sure about bringing Milana along, but then decided to give it a try, anyway I could walk out with her any time if she would get fussy. So, our two months old had visited a theater already. Boy, kids start early this century! It's like when you have you first baby life seems to stop or at least slow down for a while, but when there are older siblings in the house, you just keep on going and the younger ones simply come aboard!
On Sunday we went to the Pocono Educational Environmental Center for an Earth Day celebration. It was a great day to be outdoors and the girls had an awesome time at the PEEC. There were guided nature walks, pond mucking, gardening presentations, eco-crafts, a live animal presentation, recycling tips, useful information for myself as well. I learned a bit about the herbs growing locally that are edible and we can use for medicinal purposes. And maybe I'll even take a class in the fall at the Center and learn even more.
We managed to make a wind mill and heard a short presentation about the wind power, build a bugs' house and took a set to make a bird house home, did tie-dye shirts, painted rocks and did a flower project out of the plastic caps. Ivana and Leona did not want to leave, but I was exhausted after trying to help them with all the fun activities, attend to and nurse Milana, have some kind of lunch, make sure everybody was getting enough fluids and the girls were not getting a sunburn. After two and a half hours I was done. Literally. Thank goodness the ride home was only 5 minutes!
