Field Trip Fun!

We took a field trip today to the Museum of Life & Science in Durham today. It was our first time to visit there and we really enjoyed it. Lots of interesting indoor & outdoor exhibits! One of our favorites was definitely the Butterfly House! It is a natural, tropical climate conservatory with hundreds of butterfly species fluttering about, landing on you if they wish!



The farmyard section featured goats, lambs, sheep, etc... it kind of felt like a zoo trip for a few minutes!

Poison Dart Frogs... we were commenting how much they looked like plastic toys. Thank goodness we don't have them around here or we would pick them up and play with them!
These huge, nasty looking bugs are considered a tasty treat in South America!
These simulate the motion of a bird in flight.It was a great day! Long drive home... back to school tomorrow!!

Looks like a fun field trip and soccer game! Hope your yard sale went well. If you get that spanish web site from Jeff, please pass it along. Would love to have it for checking Ashley's Spanish 1 writing! Missing ya!
