4-H Field Trip
Yesterday our 4-H group had their first field trip of the year. We made our way to a local park for a picnic & I took "class pictures" of the kids. We loaded into our cars and caravaned to John MacCarthur State Park, just a few miles up the road. A park employee ushered us into a small air conditioned theater where we were shown a short video of the park, its history and habitat. A park ranger then lead us on a walking tour of the Lake Worth Lagoon, over a long pedestrian bridge, through a winding wooded trail, over the dunes and onto the beach. As you can see it was a magnificent day, a little warm (hot by the whole groups estimation!), but gorgeous just the same. We all were educated on the local plant and wildlife, actually walking away with some fascinating facts. Did you know that mullet jump and slap the water to remove bacteria that grows on its scales? I never new that! All in all it was a terrific interactive component added to this years 4-H study of Florida History.

Saw ALL of the pictures on the Kodak site and loved seeing how all of the kids are changing and growing up! Jefferson's many poses cracked us up! We miss you guys! Remember to let me know when you go up to Kennedy Space Center!
Hey! So we had a field trip the same day as you! How weird. Ours was a very "educational" trip to the zoo. Dad refused to call it a field trip, as he said it was definitely a "fun" trip.
And it was, a "Fun Field Trip!"
Miss you guys!
