Alison's Field trip

I had the fortune to attend Alison's end of the year field trip to the Nature Reserve at Fish Lake. Out of all the field trips this was the one I would want to attend the least. However, I am glad to have the opportunity to go with her. She was very excited to have me come. We first stopped off at a park and had lunch. This park was a lot of fun. They had lots of net ladders to climb. Here is Alison and her school friend, Anna, at the top of one of the ladders. You cannot tell that she is really up high. I had to zoom to be able to see her.
Then we went to Fish Lake. Alison was given a large net and was instructed to sweep in the long grass and put the net into a jar to see what was found.

I was amazed at all the bugs found in the grass. I will think twice about letting the kids walk through a field again!

Alison was given a small net and scooped the net into the water to see what was in the water.

This is the group looking at the bugs they found. Another reason I hate swimming in the lake.

We had a fun day even though I REALLY HATE BUGS! We went on a long nature walk which was nice. I enjoyed seeing Ali with her class. It was fun to spend the day with her.
