2nd Field Trip!

Luke and I went on his second field trip last week. It was at a local nature center - so cool. The weather couldn't have been better. Thank goodness, since there was a good stretch of time when we were outside. 
They started off the morning by going over the seasons. (Proud mama moment - the woman leading the lesson asked what it was called when animals went to sleep during the winter - Luke chimed in "hibernation". It was sweet/cool to see). During the lesson each child was given something representing each season (Luke was given grass) so he helped lay it out during the changing of the season to Spring. It was neat to watch him in his "school" element. I always wonder what he's like when he's away from me and his siblings.
After that we headed out for our nature walk. They spotted some squirrels, birds, checked out some cool trees and stumps and just enjoyed running around.
Once we were finished outside they got to look at snakes, fish, turtles and other animals housed inside. And what better way to wrap up the morning than with a snack! What a fun morning. I feel so blessed to be able to stay home with our kids and have amazing family to help with the other two munchkins at home so I can be on special trips such as this. Sigh.
