May 19 - Field Trips R Cool

Today Skyler & I had the priviledge of going to Fernwood Botanical Gardens with his 1st grade class. I grew up just around the corner and have been going for years, so I'm biased, but I think it's a wonderful place. Full of frogs, fish, ferns and of course fun!

After an orientation to the evils of poison ivy, we set off in groups. We had a funny, strict old lady guide who kept tsk-tsking the adults for holding up progress as we tramped through the forest, over streams and along the river . We saw frogs, birds, spring flowers and several snakes sleeping in a bush over the St. Joseph River.
Skyler has always been an outdoors guy, prefering to play outside whatever the weather. I hope he keeps that joy forever!
