Beaches, Boots & Blueberries

This weekend my office put on our annual early childhood conference for 230 people in Southeast Alaska. The theme was "Beaches, Boots & Blueberries: Learning Through Nature." It was a such a blast and hopefully will result in more young children getting outside! Since it took me away from the blog scene these past few days, here are some highlights.  
AEYC Staff. Looking fly in our nature gear. 
A large part of my weekend was spent inside these "Jumbo Fun Balls" And boy are they fun! You can roll around the room while inside them OR find a friend, get a running start and play sumo wrestling. 
Egg carton lady bugs at the "recycled/nature craft" station. 
Using nature as a paint brush...SO fun! You should try it. 
Snack Rangers. We got to force chocolate on people during the breaks obviously with a paddle in hand. 
Good times had by all. Lots of learning, networking and bouncing around in giant inflatable balls. I'd consider that a success.
