Field Trip to the Texas City Prairie Preserve

Yesterday we went to the Texas City Prairie Preserve. There the kids learned about water quality, marine seining, and prairie life, with bird and plant identification as well as insect sweeping. It was a long day for the kids - and me! And there were times when they seemed totally lost in the discussion. But Nathan told me he loved "hiking" through the prairie and they all loved going down to the lake, especially the boys who got very wet and muddy playing in the lake. I think they could have done that all day!
