Field trip: Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge

Jansen's final elementary school field trip was today and I was able to chaperone! It's the one that I dread the most just because it is all outside in the wetland heat. Boy, was it hot today!

He was really excited and it was so cute to see him be so into something. 

He is a world class scare-de-cat and today, he touched a snake and a baby alligator. How cool is that?!

It was a good day. 

We took a bus tour...

Learned about crabbing...

Practiced our fishing skills....

Studied water samples under a microscope....
 

Learned netting skills...

 And held reptiles....
