September 16th (Ella's Field Trip to Liberty, MO!)

I grabbed some Starbucks before heading out to Liberty by myself! Boo it's 50 minutes away.

Martha La Fite Nature Sanctuary!

First Ella's group headed to the basement to make their own fossil with plaster paris. 

Then we went upstairs to learn about fossils in rocks and different types of rocks.

The kids got to hold and feel the different ones.

Ella handing poop off to Tyler...haha. It was fossilized so hard as a rock.

Then it was time to head to the creek to find our own fossils!

It was a bit of a hike!

Ella and Tyler holding hands...how sweet!

Looking for rocks with fossils!

Love this girl.

Found a fossil rock!

Found a tiny tiny frog!

And a little crawfish.

This is the guy that works there and tells everyone what they found. Very nice guy!! Lots of questions.

All the kids are so sweet with Ella when she needs help. Lots of them have been here since kindergarten and I love that!!

After this we were all hot and hungry. So picnic table lunch! 

Then Ella's small bus left a little early because Lily was having a hard time on the field trip.

I thought the field trip was ok, thought we could maybe find a closer place that could do the same type of experience. I mean I have a creek in my backyard!!?? Lol.

I headed home and relaxed the rest of the afternoon before Ella got home!

I forgot how field trips really take it out of you.
