Avery's Field Trip to Cool Creek Park

 I was able to take the morning off and chaperone Avery's field trip to Cool Creek Park. The kids learned about all the animal prints you can find in the forest in Indiana and they each got to paint a paw print. We also went on a nature hike and learned about different animals you can look for in the winter. And we ended with a discussion on turtles - the kids got to pet and hold a box turtle which was cool. Avery was really involved and asked lots of questions. She really wanted to know how old the turtle was and we learned he is 30 and can live until 100. I loved watching her interact with her sweet friends. It was a good morning!
