Alexa had a trip to the Ernie Miller Nature Center in Olathe. It turned out to be a wonderful day for it. A lot warmer then it has been in awhile.
I got to ride in the bus with them on the way out there. It's funny to think that I rode on a bus everyday all the way through 8th grade, but Alexa really only has gotten to ride on one when they have taken field trips.
Once there, they were taken into a room where they were told about what was organized for the day. They broke up into their three classrooms and did a hike using their compasses and answsering questions from their field guide book. Halfway through they got to walk into the creek and look for living creatures under rocks. I was surprised that only one kid fell during this part of it. He unfortunatley had to walk around in wet pants the rest of the day.
Afterwards, we met up with the other classes and ate lunch. Then all 3 classes headed back to the woods to figure out the rest of the puzzle they were given.
It turned out to be a beautiful day for a walk in the woods.
