Camp Woodlands

I was lucky enough to be a chaperon on Calvin's first field trip. We learned all about trees, bugs, and the environment.

Scooping up mulch to keep the rain from washing dirty water into the lake.


 One of Calvin/s favorite parts was when they got to catch fish.

They actually caught a tiny jelly fish and Calvin was so excited to touch it!


 Holding a fish!


Putting the fish in the water.

He was a little nervous about the boat, but he was fine once he got in. 


I loved seeing him interact with his classmates.


 Calvin is an official Junior arborist!

Calvin's favorite part was definitely riding on a bus. That smile makes my heart so happy!


 It was a great day and I hope that I can go on more trips with him.

Exploring

Instead of being lazy inside all day, which is our favorite thing to do, I decided that we needed to get outside. It was a really nice day, not too humid or hot. Calvin decided to go exploring for bugs.
 
The first thing he found was a mantis! I couldn' believe it! What a cool insect to find!
 

Some sort of beelte.



 
 In that middle water spot is a little white worm.
 
Then we found a bee!
 
Then we came home and made a book.
 
Calvin cute and pasted and drew pictures of what he found!
 

 
After running some errands we came home and found a baby turtle!


 
 
 
The boys were excited, but not too sure about touching him.

They did not want to take one without Grammy!




I think that this is such a sweet picture.

Cutthroat Calvin

Last Friday I went with Calvin to his last field trip, we went on a pirate ship!
It was so cool! Calvin's pirate name was Cutthroat Calvin. They gave him a vest and sash and he got a painted tattoo and mustache! He choose yellow for the mustache, so you couldn't really see it, but his tattoo was a shark.

Learning how to be a pirate.

Sneaking on the boat.

They had to show their muscles to get on.

Looking for the treasure map.


Calvin wasn't too sure about the theme music, he thought it was scary. Silly boy.

The bad guy who stole the key to the treasure.

They got to shot water cannons!


The yellow mustache...

They got the treasure!

Scooping his loot!

It was so much fun. I rarely get to hang out with Calvin one on one anymore, so it was nice being just the two of us. I love my Sunshine.
