We had a fun field trip day yesterday with Jeffrey's 1st grade. We were gone from 8 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon. We visited a few fun things in Jackson Hole. The first place we went, (upper left picture) was a fish hatchery. We all walked on the little bridges that over look the fish. I was amazed that all these 1st graders were able to walk across a metal bridge that was the width of your foot across!!
Then, we went down the road to the National Museum of Wildlife Art. That was a really neat place because all of their sculptures and paintings and activities were about wild animals. At the end, they could dress up in animal skins and put on an impromptu play. They enjoyed that. Jeffrey chose to be a bald eagle. He really enjoyed looking at the pictures and sculptures, and actually surprised me at how much he understood. The next picture was at the fish hatchery on the buck-n-rail fence where a herd of buffalo were there. The last stop was a hot springs. There were little tropical looking fish in there that you could wade in and try to catch. We couldn't catch them, but a few kids did. We were quited pooped on the bus ride home! We lucked out with super great weather.
