Field Trip to Sharon Woods

Ellie went on her first ever field trip to Sharon Woods today.

We got there a little early so she could play on the playground for a while.  Once the rest of her classmates arrived they had a program with a naturalist.  She showed them a  snake and a turtle and talked to them about water animals native to the area ponds.  Ellie was so brave she even petted the snake!!  Then they went on a nature hike to a little pond full of toads.  After the hike they played on the playground again until they were so tired the kids were asking the parents if it was time to go! 

Here is a picture of Ellie petting the snake.  It was pretty big!
