Leapin' Lizards (or Toads)

We went on a field trip with our home school group to the KU Natural History Museum a couple of weeks ago. I've been slacking updating this! We had a great time and about 30 kids came! We went on a scavenger hunt through the museum and then our friend at church, David McLeod, took us for a 'behind the scenes' tour. We got to see all sorts of amphibians. They have over 300,000 specimens in lab! He showed us frogs and sicilians and many other creatures he discovered on his trip to Thailand. It was very interesting and we learned that one of the frog species only consists of females! It was a lot of fun!

American Royal

The Grace homeschool group went to the American Royal for a field trip on Oct. 20th. There were probably about 50 of us there, so it was a pretty good turn out. We got a "behind the scenes" tour and then we got to see a junior rodeo. It was pretty neat seeing 6-13 year-olds roping and riding! We got to see a cow get milked and a the famous Cowboy Monkey! Here are some pics.
