Field Trip to Lake Katherine

Today was a gorgeous, sunny, 72- degree Monday.  It was surely worthy of more than sitting inside with books and dishes.  Thankfully my good friend invited ours and a bunch of other homeschool families to spend the day exploring Lake Katherine and having a picnic lunch at a nearby park.  We really enjoyed it! 

The wildlife were not camera shy.  We saw turtles, ducks, swans, snakes, and even a squirrel mama carrying her baby.

EM ran away with the camera for a while.  I love to see what she finds beautiful and picture worthy. 

The egg EM captured.  It was much bigger than a chicken egg, maybe a swan?

I tried to take a picture of all three kids looking at the stream.

So I wasn't close enough to catch LD before he fell in.  There he goes!

Climbing on the same rock and sitting the same way his big brother did a minute ago. 

It's so much fun to get together with a handful of moms and dozens of kids!
