The presentation didn't really hold the younger kids attention, but once she got the animals out, they were sitting still and interested. Everyone had the opportunity to touch them too, which was a bonus!
After the presentation we went for a short nature hike and found a lot of driftwood and a few critters to observe. The kids had such a great time catching frogs, grasshoppers and exploring with friends, even picking up nature treasures such as snail shells and other items they found. It was a good day!

| PCC has a box turtle they use for demonstrations |
 |
| It was neat to learn that they can close up their shells with a flap. |
 |
| Here he is on the run! |
 |
| They also had a few snakes for the kids to see... |
 |
| and touch! Elliot was so brave! |
 |
| They also had info about other Iowa reptiles. |
 |
| The kids enjoyed watching the snake move along the floor. |
 |
| The kids found a huge tree that had washed up along the shoreline and couldn't resist climbing on it! |
 |
| I couldn't resist grabbing a photo of them all! |
 |
| Such a cute bunch! |
 |
| Shortly after picking up driftwood and shells, someone spotted this little frog. |
 |
| The kids all took turns holding him and he even hopped on the head of a few unsuspecting victims a few times! |
 |
| This little grasshopper was using his camouflage to hide from us, but Everett spotted him! |
 |
| Elliot didn't really know what to think. |
 |
| We were having so much fun, another frog decided to join the party! |
 |
| It was such a nice day to explore. |
