Thank you for following our blog and reading about the activities we completed. Lily and Aj enjoyed most of the activities. This was a tough time for us because we were unable to go on any field trips at the time we read this book. (We were stuck in the house because of COVID-19) We still made the best out of our time at home and enjoyed each other’s company!
