A Day at the Swamp

Yesterday was a beautiful day and I was able to spend it with Noah's class at a swamp, well really a "wet land". It was great!

After a 40 minute bus ride with 50 very loud

4th graders we

arrived at the Phinny Swamp.

Even though it was winter, there was beauty in the Spanish moss hanging from the trees, and the duck weed floating in the water. We learned about some of the animals that live by the swamp. We saw a turtle and some beautiful birds.

Maybe we will visit again to see the beavers, and alligators. SMILE!

There were lessons on wetland soil. YUCKY!

We had a great lesson on the life cycle of the wet lands and the importance of each living thing in the "web".

The group of kids that I brought around had lots of fun.

Noah had lunch with some of his school friends, and invited me to eat with them.

It was a fun day. Lots of kids, lots of learning and enjoying God's creation.
