Connections field trip

About a month ago, Jackson had a field trip to the Grand Bay Estuarine Research Reserve which ironically is in Mississippi. Scott and I met the classes over there and watched as they learned about the water, sea life, and plant life.They asked Scott to help with the cast nets, which I missed most of because I was helping identify plants. I did manage to see one cute little man!He was one of the only ones to catch something, but it’s been so long ago, I forgot what it was.They learned how to take water samples with this really expensive piece of equipment which I was sure wasn’t going to make it through the kid testing phase.I did not want to have to purchase a hygrometer or whatever the hell it was called.All in all, it was a good day, a little cold, but they didn’t seem to mind. Any day on the water is a good day, especially when you are supposed to be in school.
