School Field Trips

I like to volunteer at school, it is a great opportunity for parents to be involved in their kids education. It also makes your children feel special for you to be on their turf, so to speak. This time volunteers were needed for a trip to the Museum. I was excited, as it has been a while since we have been to the museum.

We visited the Magic Wings Butterfly House, where I tried to show 2 of our very excited boys how to catch a butterfly on your finger. It was not working out great, Avery and Gavin chased those butterflies all over the place running with their hands flying in the air........this was not going to work......

I gently walked up to one perched on a leaf and offered a finger to coach him along....

I passed it to Gavin

Gavin passed it to Avery

Gavin found the species on the map

We held a tarantula 

Okay, not WE HELD........THEY HELD a tarantula...

We played on the playground

We dug for dinosaur bones and visited some dinosaurs

Then we sat in Papa Bears chair

We visited Snakes, gators and fish
