Field Trip.

I went on a class field trip with my daughter today.  We went to an outdoor/indoor nature area.  (For privacy reasons, I choose not to give the specific name of the place.)  To be perfectly honest, I felt guilty for not going on the other field trips earlier this year, so I decided to join this one... not because I really wanted to.  I like the outdoors, I love being outside, but I'm not really a "nature" person I guess.  I heard the words poison ivy, ticks, and spiders and I realized this probably wasn't a great idea.  Ugh!  (When I was a girl, I had a very bad case of poison ivy... like all over my face bad.  I was miserable and ever since have been a bit afraid of the 3 leafed plant.)  Anyhow, what is important is that my daughter was happy I was there and wanted me to be with her.  So, in that respect, it was a good thing.  

My daughter's class is part of a small group of area schools that are participating in a program to get kids outside!  Wonderful!  This field trip was a part of that group.  We spent 4 hours outside.  It was a beautiful day and I learned a few new facts.  Here are a few pictures of the day.
