Luke had a field trip just after his birthday. The first grade went to the botanical gardens. We had a beautiful day for a field trip, and the temps were perfect. Ironically, Alex had a field trip on the same day to the bowling alley. He also had a great time. I am glad I can help with field trips, even if it means I miss one due to multiple trips on the same day!
Luke's class first went to the soil presentation. Initially, I wasn't sure how interested the kids would be, but our instructor was great and kept the kids really interested.
The kids loved learning about the layers of the soil.
Luke's table loved the compost.
Like dug "critters" out of the compost.
In line with his class
After soil class, Bill, a master gardener, took out group on a nature walk. He was awesome with the kids and pointed out a lot of cool things for them.
Great day on the Cape Fear River
Bill showed the kids all the things you can find under rotting logs. Luke loved it.
Bill also showed them different types of birds' nests. We really had a great time with Bill.

What a beautiful visit to the garden. We love to go there and will be back soon!
