Forest Field Trip

I am finally posting pictures of Natalie's field trip almost two weeks ago! I am a huge slacker, I know, but better late than never!

Ethan being...well...Ethan!

Natalie was extremely excited!!!

Can you tell?!

On the bus.

That morning she told me all kinds of rules that the learned when they practiced getting on and off the bus. The bus driver explained why being quiet on the bus is important, where the emergency exits are and how they work, etc. I was very impressed that they did this!

Before we headed out for the nature walk, we were able to meet some animals in a big room. We all sat in a big circle so the animals would stay in the middle...which is why I don't have any pics of it. Our guide showed us a rabbit, box turtle, and a salamander! We learned several things about each that I didn't even know! Natalie like the turtle the best!

I wish the picture was in focus 'cause I love her expression!!!

Finding bugs on a log.

Nat didn't want to get too close.

A Roley Polly! I can't for the life of me remember what they are really called!

"Look up there mom!!!"

The guide explains why they want everyone to stay on the trail...things like Stinging Nettles and Poison Oak!!!

Poison oak...something I'd never seen before.

This is a really old poison oak vine next to the tree!

Done seeing everything there was to see...over the bridge so we can get back on the bus.

I don't' remember why she was making this face (probably why I should post pictures right after I take them)...I think she was asking me why we didn't see any wild animals like bears, foxes, and rabbits!

On the 20 minute drive back to school Nat was probably the only kids who almost fell asleep! Most likely because I was sitting next to her instead of a friend!
