Today I chaperoned a field trip for L's class to the Little Red Schoolhouse Nature Center in Palos Hills, part of the Cook County Forest Preserve District. We started the morning with 1.75-mile walk on the Black Oak Trail. We were supposed to be looking for animals, but the kids were kind of loud so we didn't see much. However, we did end up being the only group of the day to see a deer. I was surprised the kids didn't scare the deer away. The deer was close enough to see, yet too far away for me to get a picture.
L said her favorite part of the field trip was seeing the hawks in the Little Red Schoolhouse. We had planned on having lunch at a picnic grove, but it started to rain and the teachers told the bus drivers to take us back to school. The kids ate once they got settled in their classrooms.
