Conservation Department Class

On Monday the conservation department held a class about birds, eggs, and nests. 
The coordinator read the kids the book The Remarkable Egg and then talked about bird identification and the different kinds of eggs each bird lays.
The kids each made paper towel roll binoculars. 
The class was designed for younger kids, but my bigger ones enjoyed portions of it, too.

We arrived a little early, and then stayed after a bit to explore the hands on part of the conservation department office. 

Afterwards, the kids and I went to a park for a picnic lunch before heading to our afternoon dentist appointments.  No friends were able to join us, but they made the best of it by playing capture the flag (the big kids attempting to teach the younger two how to play).
