Field Trip

On Friday we went to school day to the Lore of the Laughery in Friendship.  It was hosted by the NMLRA.    It was a good educational experience and fun too.

Notice what the guy dressed like Ben Franklin is holding in his hand.  I am pretty sure it is an iPhone.  Yes, I am easily amused.

He was explaining how they would use gourds to hold the food that they were gathering. 

This was my favorite booth.  I will do another post just on the gourds.

I would love to grow and decorate gourds.

After Friendship, we stopped at the Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge where they have a restored home and barn from the late 1800s.  That refuge has lots of wetlands and habitats especially for birds.  They had an observation deck with high-powered binoculars where we could see a really cool large bird that we think was a great blue heron.
