Summer Field Trip

We visited the Ocean Isle Museum of Coastal Carolina this week (http://museumplanetarium.org/).  This has been on the "to do" list for a while and I decided we needed an adventure.  So Tuesday we grabbed a quick lunch and set out on our adventure.   



Goofing off, as always


Looking at butterflies and moths under the microscope


We saw lots of shells that we regularly see on the beach


The touch tank was a favorite for all 3 kids




There was a scavenger hunt for the kids to complete, and a prize at the end!


We went to a short lecture on whales and made a whale craft



A whale vertebrate

Looking for sharks teeth


We had lots of fun exploring the museum and hope to take our homeschool group there soon!
