Field Trip

Another pleasant surprise last week was an invitation from some homeschool friends to join them on a field trip Friday morning.  I didn’t realize it, but one of the local universities has a museum with over 700 mounted birds and animals. 

 

 

We had just finished a science unit on birds so the timing was perfect.

 

Even Bitty enjoyed the exhibits.

 

 

We found a cougar.

 

And Bella was in full big sister mode. 

I so appreciated her help as Bitty made a run for it every chance she got.

  Bitty's favorite was this moose in the entry.

 

Boo's favorite was a kangaroo complete with joey in pouch.

 

Bella's was this skeleton of a large hadrosaur.

 

I think my favorite comment of the morning was when Bella

observed that the head of this pheasant looks like Cleopatra.

After the museum we stopped by Daddy's office for candy, met some friends for frozen yogurt, got Oreo samples at Wally World, and enjoyed Happy Meals with Barbie toys for lunch.

 

And the icing on the cake of that sugar-laden adventure was coming home to wonderful weather and playing outside with friends the rest of the afternoon.  Here Boo is showing off her chalk sketched town for scooter riding.  I love the way she thinks.  In her world, we'd only live 20 minutes from her godparents and 4 hours away from her grandparents.

 

Psalm 34:8

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
