3rd Grade Field Trip

Today I went with Taige's third grade class to the Arboretum.  We learned a lot about plants, enjoyed lunch together and watched a bird show.  It was a lot of fun.  We even got to quietly watch while they trained a bird (crow) to put plastic in the recycle bin and dollar bills in the paper bin.  It was amazing how smart the bird was! During the bird show, a hawk flew right over our heads; so close that it's wing brushed against my right eye!



 
Do you know how to tell the difference between a Spruce and a Fir tree? You need to reach out and shake hands (needles) with it.  If it is a Spruce then it will be Spikey.  If it is a Fir, then it'll feel soft and Friendly!

This is Taige and Spencer Larson - a good friend from both his class at school and church.
