It's probably been a couple of years since we'd been at the Discovery Center. I've taken the older boys several times. Carter said this was the best field trip he's been on yet!
Our class had free time in the museum first.
Carter & Charlie ...
Our group of five (Charlie, Noah, Jett, Carter, & Whit) ...
Our class ate an early lunch at 10:30 and then went outside for a bunch of fun activities. First was getting to see several animals such as turtles and snakes. Then the kids were given nets and got to hunt for snails and other small animals in the pond. Carter caught several snails and some dragonfly nymphs.
Next the kids got to put on boots and wade into the spring to see if they could find anymore wildlife.
The last activity was to walk on the wetland boardwalks. We saw a ton of beaver dams and this cool raccoon crawled out of his home and back in.
I'm so glad I got to go on this fun field trip with the kids!
