Everybody's heart melts for a 5 year old in a construction paper hat

Last week, Dan and I got an invitation from the kindergarten class we have been working with to see their very first school play about all of the things they have been learning from our creek visits.  It was probably the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life.  Not only did they sing songs about everything they had learned, explain how pH measures if the water is "acidic like orange juice, neutral like fresh water or basic like a soapy mop bucket," and act out how they learned to pull invasive weeds; they also acted out the story of how the beaver got a flat tail.  The kids did a great job remembering all of their lines, their only problem was that they were all scared of using the microphone because some of them had gotten shocked during their dress rehearsal. None the less, it was a very good performance, and it was nice to see how much they had learned from our visits.  After the show, we got to go to the after party where we got cookies and juice and all of the kids wanted to introduce their parents to us.  Cute kids, cookies and juice, and appreciation from the kids for all of the work we have been doing: a good night indeed!
