I was able to accompany Ethan on his 4th grade field trip to the Arlington Nature Center. It was a fun field trip full of exploring the woods and looking for nature and then going inside and getting to see real animals. Then of course we headed to the park to play and have a picnic!

| Ethan and his buddy Colin are ready to see some nature! |
 |
| Listening to rules of the hike and finding out what to write on their explorer papers. |
 |
| The hardest part for this crew? Being quiet! We didn't see much in the way of animals. Probably because there were 100 4th graders stomping through the forest. We did see a rattle snake though! He scampered off into the woods...luckily away from our trail! |
 |
| Checking out turtles and snakes...behind the glass. |
 |
| We heard a science lesson on snails...then got to play with them! |
 |
| Hard to see but there is a snail in there. They held them and touched them with different objects and had to record their findings. Poor snails. |
 |
| We saw different creepy animals inside this pen. Here we have yet another snake! |
 |
| Yippee...we got to touch it! |
 |
| Checking out a opossum. |
 |
| And the best part...freedom on the playground! Actually, it got pretty hot so I bailed early. And I felt really bad getting into my nice air conditioned car while the kids piled on the bus! :-/ |
