The Community Gardens in Marymoor Park were gorgeous!

Last Friday Tiny Treks decended upon the Community Gardens of Marymoor Park in Redmond.  The sun was shining as I set up 2 picnic tables-each with a different craft.  I put out leaves to trace and make rubbings of on one table and butterfly makings on the other.  They were both popular but I think everyone had the most fun with the butterflies.  We took our butterflies (made out of coffee filters, clothespins and pipecleaners) and had them land on the squash blossoms and various flowers.  We flapped our arms on our way to the circle time on a big green tarp.  After singing and stretching in the warm sun we began our walk around the garden.  We stopped and looked at the jalapeno peppers and wax beans growing.  We saw big and small pumpkins and other squashes growing along the ground.  At the back of the garden is a special park with a fountain and some art sculptures.  We all took turns throwing rocks into the water around the fountain.
On our way back to the picnic tables we saw two white butterflies chasing each other and a humming bird.  Many of the plants were on their last legs before being pulled up for the winter-but they were still so pretty. 
For snack we had icecream cones filled with yummy yogurt and we read a book about gardens.
It was a lovely day!
