Nature Walks and Field Trips



I got to go on a field trip with Sams class today to the Arboretum.   This was not an ordinary visit to the Arboretum- we have been like 100 times.    We went on a nature tour and they collected bugs and looked for animals and the grossest part- the dissected Owl Pellets- yes you read it right- they dug out the rodent bones and placed them on a skeleton- YUCK!    I guess Owls wrap the bones in the fur and leave it behind and some very (un)lucky person gets to collect and dissect them!     The kids really liked it- I was so glad I didn't have to help them.   Here are the pictures.   I got to know a few of the kids Sam goes to school with- anyone who knows me knows that I used to go eat lunch with Sam and ask his friends a thousand questions to decide if Sam could play or not!   Now at his new school he doesn't get to bring a friend to the lunch table- so this was my only chance to "interview" them!   Ha!   (No I am not an overprotective parent- just concerned =)
