OKEFENOKEE

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.
We went on a swamp boat ride and really learned a lot about the wildlife in this area as well as the habitat of the different animals. The website has a lot of educational / curriculum helps, so we printed these out and learned about Okefenokee on the way. Some of the worksheets were like scavenger hunts and we used the whole trip as an impromptu school day and an opportunity to learn and have fun!!!
Again with the binoculars. . . These are dad's really good binoculars and both boys used them to get a closer look at the Ospreys and Blue Herons in the trees as well as the alligators we saw along the swamp boat ride.
Cooper was very adventurous on the swamp boat ride. Carter was a little cautious around the sides of the boat and really wanted to stay in the middle of the front seat while Cooper continued to scare his dad and I by leaning over as far as possible and saying that he wanted to find a beaver!!!
