POTD #29 - Field Trip

Today Kennedy's class went on a field trip to the Garden of the Gods. We've been there before, but this time we had a little bit of a different adventure because we went to the visitors center first where we learned about the plants and animals that live in the Garden and then we got a guided tour through a little bit of the Garden talking about the different plants and looking for the animals we talked about. We didn't see any of them except for a couple birds, but it was still fun to look! :) After the tour we all stopped at one of the picnic areas and had a picnic and let the kids run around a bit and then we headed back to the school. It was a little cooler today (and very windy) compared to what it has been, but it was still a fun day and I think Kennedy had a good time! :) Here are a few pictures from our day...

Listening to the guide talk about the stinky skunk bush... it DID stink! Yuck! 

He gave the kids these things off a bush and they started moving and trying to plant themselves... pretty cool! 

Kennedy trying to smell a tree (there's a picture and phrase I never thought I'd have on here! haha). 

The bark smelled like vanilla!  

The three land forms in the Garden of the Gods... Mountains (Pike's Peak), Prairies and something else in the  middle that I can't remember. Obviously I would fail this part if it were on a test. LOL It's something to do with a hill though... 

 NO clue what these silly girls are doing! They were having fun though! :)

The girls playing a hand game. 

(I said patty cake earlier and was severely scolded by a certain 7 year old. Apparently it's just "a game". *ahem*)

I took a bunch more but they were class pictures and stuff like that so I'll end here. I hope you enjoyed! :) I love going on field trips with the kids! Next week I get to go with Kameron's class to Pike's Peak! YAY!
