Dodge Nature Center Field Trip

Please view some of these photos from our field trip to Dodge Nature Center field trip today....

We had a blast searching for bats in the forest, picked pumpkins in a pumpkin patch, and jumped in hay! Enjoy!

Notes: For the next two weeks our theme is Community Helpers, pumpkins, and Halloween. Feel free to send something in for show and tell that is related to these concepts. Thanks! Have a super week ahead!
