I love going on field trips with the kids and our co-op. It's a great opportunity to learn together and get to know each other more as families. The kids love being with their friends and seeing cool things...commenting for weeks after about things they saw and learned while there. In late September, we went to Georgia Southern's Nature and Wildlife Center to tour their Raptor Center. Some things were similar to Jekyll, but on a much smaller scale that worked for the babies too and without the long trip.
First, a quick class and opportunity to see (and pet) some cool animals.
Garner said "no thanks" to the snake :)
From there, we walked through the outside part and saw lots of birds. My favorites were the owls and eagles...
I loved this class on habitats. Greer has been learning about this at school too, telling me there are 3 "H" words the mean the same thing: house, home and "havitat." Love :)
They went around looking for animals on their lists from each habitat. Gehrig and Gentry teamed up, as did Greer and Campbell. Adorable :)
My teammate :)
The flight show at the end was AWESOME. It is truly amazing to see those huge birds fly right over head and learn more about them. So beautiful.
Sweet boys...thankful for great buds for G :)
Group shot...really love these families (and the others too who weren't there :))
Some of our co-op moms/teachers. They are so good at what they do and great encouragers and friends!
Right before we dispersed for lunch, they brought out this python...yeh, wow
Playground time before heading back. Kaylee always takes such good care of Garner. She is one of the few people that Garner will let hold her etc...and maybe the only kid she allows to!
Heading home...thank You Lord for these opportunities with our kids. Great memories and fun!
