We've already taken a great field trip - we went to the Florida Museum of Natural History last Friday and camped at Ginny Springs - which was a blast. We saw Mastadon and Mammoth skeletons, giant shark jaws (with teeth!), a chickee (where the indians lived), a shell midden (basically their landfill), lots of things made and used by the Calusa and Tequesta indians.
We love field trips - still! That's definitely the best part of school, for us.
The campground was fun. There are seven different springs there and we played around in 3 of them. We went out into the Santa Fe river and tubed down a ways and then had to fight the current back into another spring to get out. We did that three different times. We rode our bikes - Nick rode his almost non-stop when he wasn't in the springs. They saw lots of fish in the springs and a cave down under the water. It was perfectly clear and freezing cold! One of the scuba divers had a thermometer on his watch and said it was 73 degrees. That's twenty-five degrees colder than our body temperature, for those who think that doesn't sound too bad.
Can't wait for our next field trip!
As always, have a Blessed Day in your homeschool!
