LLELA Field Trip

On May 7th and 8th, Gabe, Selah and Mig took the CAT test. This is a standardized test that they can take online. I am emailed the results right away and am able to see the areas we need to improve upon in our schooling or where they are excelling. They did an excellent job on their tests and to celebrate their achievement and the fact that the testing was complete, we went to the Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area for a nature walk field trip on the following day. 




It was a beautiful day to hike the trails!


Selah brought a camera with her and took some great pictures. 




I especially like this one that she took: 




Down the trail is a log cabin from the 1800s. 


Selah took this picture of Gabe reading about the old tools: 


And this one of the smoke house: 







We had a great time exploring! 




A beaver dam - I didn't even know there are beavers in Texas!



Mig found the ultimate walking stick.


Selah took this picture of the swampy area:








On our way back to the van we met a friendly grass snake crossing the path. 


It was a peaceful, yet fun field trip. We learned a lot and came home ready to finish out our school year strong!
