Natural History Days

Last week Mark and I were able to spend a few days in the mountains with Bailee. The middle school takes all the 6th grade to a little camp for Natural History Days. The kids spend three days learning about the natural world, playing games, hiking, doing skits and singing around the campfire. They really don't "rough it" though...the accommodations are pretty sweet:)


Mark has helped with this event in years past, but this year was special because he got to be a dad as well as an "Expert". I went along as an assistant to the expert!! Mark and I used the opportunity as a mini getaway, and stayed at the Game & Fish cabin a little ways from the Field Station where the kids stayed.

Mark taught the kids all about Fish Ecology and they got to do some Electrofishing in the river which they thought was the coolest thing ever!!
We went on a Night Hike using only headlamps....Bailee and her friend Niki were 2 of the 3 girls that ventured out, they were the few, but the brave of the group!!
We had such fun and are enjoying the fact that Bailee still likes us enough to have us hang around. We love you BUG:)
