Year-End Celebration to Koteewi

The kids had been wanting to visit the Koteewi Nature Center in Strawtown, so it ended up being our end-of-year field trip on May 15.  It was a very quiet, but nice, way to end our first official year of homeschool.

Looking at all the Indian artifacts.

The interpreter was quite knowledgeable about both the
artifacts/history and animals of the area.

Did you know a turtle's shell has rings, just
like a tree?  If you use a magnifying lens you
can count the rings to tell the age.
