Field Trips

One of my favorite parts of homeschooling is of course, the field trips. :) Last Friday we took a trip to the zoo, we go every once in a while as we have a membership. The boys love it because not only do they get to see all kinds of wild and farm animals but there is a little play area, snack bar and gift shop (which sells zoobooks, score!) Here are a few photos from our last trip there.

The otters were doing all kinds of flips for us that day. We also heard the wolves howling and the turkeys gobbling. Such fun!

Other times we take weekend field trips to our small science center here in town, or Old McDonald's farm, the orchard in the fall and sometimes something as simple as a trip to the park or grocery store can turn into a field trip! If you are homeschooling family, what are some of your favorite field trips to take? Do you take them often?
