Last Monday was Kayda's field trip to Tolmie State Park. It isn't one that we've ever been to before so we were excited. Grandma and Papa G took on the boys so that I could ride the bus and have some Kayda time for her first ever field trip!
Here's her class!
With her teacher Mrs. L
The kids were quick to discover the little crabs. They found crabs ranging from the size above and a little bigger than a quarter. Kayda was one of the only ones I saw actually handling the crabs. She dug right in!
I have seen sand dollars before, white and dead. This is the first place I have ever seen more than one or two sand dollars ALIVE. There were thousands of them and you literally killed one almost everywhere you walked out on the tidal flats. Notice the dark brown crescents? Every single one is a sand dollar with all it's bristly little legs intact. Notice how wet it is and seaweedy? Definitely a place for rubber boots though we didn't know and ended up with very wet socks and tennis shoes.
After about an hour and a half there Kayda found a caterpillar. Once she found that thing she was not interested in doing ANYTHING else. She sat herself down on the grass and made a little circle "cage" for it and collected leaves to feed it. She would periodically call over a classmate to show it off.
Here is Kayda and one of her good friends, Audrey.
