Field Trip!

This morning we went with Gavin's preschool to the local nature center to learn about frogs, toads and salamanders. We had a great time!

I think 'stuffed' animals are kind of creepy, especially squirrels that are stuffed and hung off a tree to look like it's climbing it but that's my own personal opinion. Anyway, they had a ton of stuffed animals all over the place. We spent the first ten minutes or so exploring.

Then the progam started and the kids got to see and touch a tree frog, a toad and a salamander. This was very exciting although Gavin catches toads all the time (he already caught two this week) from under our porch so that wasn't anything new for him. But he did really like the tree frog and the salamander.

Then we went outside to search for frog eggs, tadpoles and frogs in a pond.

This is how Austin spent his time while his big brother was searching for frogs.

Then we went back inside, explored a little more, ate some snacks I had brought and then headed home. We spent the afternoon playing in the backyard and then we went for a walk down the trail before dinner.

That was our day! It was busy but we had a lot of fun!
