Our final field trip of the "school" year involved a wildlife refuge where we saw lots of really cool birds like some raptors and herons and ducks. There was also a separate area with a ton of elk. But the lasting memory by Garrett and Joy was the numerous mosquito bites they sustained on one stretch over the marsh where Joy suddenly noticed that she was covered by them. Bryce and Griffin were remarkably spared--maybe they have different blood type? We were joined by Emily and her four kids, along with two other kids from CC who tagged along.
