A Magical Preschool Picnic

Todd will be attending a co-op preschool starting in fall, and his school had a little picnic today so the kids could see their new school and get to know each other.


The picnic was supposed to be held outdoors, but the weather was cold and rainy today, so we spread out blankets on the classroom floor and ate lunch inside (with the pet butterflies).


After lunch, a magician put on a show for the kids.  His magical repertoire included making things disappear and pulling objects out of a seemingly empty bag.  One of the most surprising objects was a live dove.  He had offered the kids some whipped cream, and when he pulled the white dove out of his bag he introduced it as Whipped Cream and said, "I didn't say you could eat him!"



The guy was a pretty impressive magician, but his favorite trick was simply to let a big red "snake" leap out of a can at the kids over and over.  He did that about a dozen times, and they squealed with laughter every single time.  For that matter, I was laughing so hard at his jokes that I had tears running down my face by the end of the show.  I want to say that this guy's name is Deepak the Fabulous or something like that, but he probably goes by Chuck.
