My daughter had the first day of a two day field trip today at their 'Outdoor School'. It was a day spent hiking, learning about how a water sanitation plant works, learning the ecosystem of our area, and doing lots of fun science experiments.
One of the experiments was dissecting owl pellets! I know most of you are thinking 'Gross.' and so were the kids at first, but as they got into it, they really didn't want that experiment to end!
The best quote of the entire day?
A girl dissecting her owl pellet: "Eww. It is SO 'ew', it's AWESOME."
Made me laugh.
It was a perfectly gorgeous day for hiking, and a perfect night to help 90 (or so) 5th graders roast marshmallows and make s'mores!
Fun day. :)
