My Daughter's Birthday Party at White Post Farms

The weather prediction called for rain Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday but I'm an optimist. I always believe positive things happen instead of worrying that something won't. I was very happy last Tuesday and Wednesday that it was sunny and only rain late afternoon and night. Imagine my surprise and dismay when I woke up this morning and it was raining! Why did the weather bureau has to be right today! I e-mailed and texted all our party guests that the party was still on. My husband was a little tense I guessed because we didn't leave early enough as we'd planned. He always likes to come early, I'm the one who always do something in the last minute. It turned out he's right, there are actually a few guest waiting for us when we get to the the Farm View Room, our party room in White Post Farms.

I may be biased but it was a great party. The children were able to pose with Buttons, the Bear. Then they have a pony ride. After that they eat pizza and fruits. Then they feed the animals. Then we had the birthday cake. They also pet bunnies on their lap after that their straw hat,  give away gift was given to them. Almost half of the parent and kids just went home after that even though they were told that they can stay since their entrance fee is paid for anyway. The good thing about the day starting on a rainy morning is that there were not a lot of kids who went to White Post Farms so we almost had the whole farm to ourselves.

Field Trip to NY Botanical Garden

Earlier today I am one of the parent chaperon on my daughter's class field trip to New York Botanical Garden at 2900 Southern Blvd., Bronx, New York. Her class has a lot of field trip because the school's PTA do a lot of fund raising and paid for these trips for the kids. I was assigned to watch two well behaved boys aside from my daughter.

Everyone in the class planted a flowering plant. Each child bring home their plant.

They also tasted nectar and the kids actually asked for it more than once. There are also craft activity. They colored a butterfly and put a popsicle stick behind it.

I'm feeling lucky that I can share all these nice school memories with my daughter.
