Look at this picture I managed to snap through the prison bars fence! It's Maia at recess!! Maia's school is adjacent to the park and as I was leaving the park I realized I could hear shouts, laughter and really high pitched squeals and when I turned to see what the commotion was I could see that it was the children having recess. Immediately, I knew I had to go over and investigate to see if Maia was in the group.
And she was. Her school, in addition to nature walks/science class in the park, has two recesses daily. The school alternates between the paved lot and the grassy play space next to the school. Lucky for me, Maia was in the paved spot and I got to go over and say hello to her.
I must say I felt a bit creepy going over to the fence to talk to her. It felt like I should be saying something like 'Hey little kid...d'ya want some candy??' Yikes!
It was such a treat to see Maia AND to see that she was happy to see me. =)
