Field trip fun

I don't often get to go on field trips with the kids. They tend to be on Fridays when Cutter is out of school, and most of them don't allow siblings to attend. For Sailor's last field trip of the year to the Navarre Beach Marine Science Station, it was during the week when Cutter was in school and we finished in time for me to pick him up on schedule. I was a little excited to finally be able to go and help out.

The kids dissecting a squid.

Some of the kids weren't fond of touching them, Sailor's group couldn't keep their hands off and could hardly wait to cut it open.

They were determined to find out if they had a boy or girl.

One of the stations newest additions, an octopus living inside a water bottle. I couldn't get a picture, but she has laid eggs inside.

Some outside fun and games.

Lunchtime.

Lunch is over, we are at the beach, why not get in a little tanning?!

 

 

  Everyone's favorite, the horseshoe crabs.

The kids all wanted to touch the crab, I wanted to cook the crab.
