Bethany's Baton Rouge Field Trip

Bethany's 3rd Grade class had a field trip to Baton Rouge to visit the Old State Capital and the Science Museum. I volunteered to go as a chaperon and had a wonderful time with my little girl! It is always fun to be able to focus on just one of the kids for a little while. This doesn't happen a whole lot so when it does I try to make the most of it.

The Louisiana State Capital

Bethany and her best friend Lauren. They have been in the same class since Kindergarten and Lauren lives right behind our house so they get to play together almost every day.
Bethany and some of her class mates with Miss LSU.

After the tour of the capitol, we had a picnic lunch under some trees close by.

We traveled to the Science museum and Bethany really like this castle looking building in the background.

We couldn't take pictures in the main part of the Museum but the kids got to see a real mummy. Bethany said mommy the mummy's head is rotten. I couldn't believe that they actually had the head showing. It kind of scared a few of the little ones, but not my Bethany nope she was fascinated. After looking at the mummy and getting some good facts about salt filled bodies and x-rays the kids were able to go to an area that they could touch and play with things. Bethany is such a ham, she loves to pose for pictures so I took a lot.

Bethany investigating some snakes. Yikes!!

Bethany was looking at this fur and asked what it was and I told her it was a coyote. This was her expression when she found out. It's so precious.

Of course than she wanted to pose with a red fox. LOL

Digging for fossils.

Learning fun facts.

Acting silly with teeth. I just love this picture it shows Bethany's quirky side. LOL

Posing with a turtle shell but I just got her because she is just too cute. Hehehe

After having fun in the play area we went to a planetarium show. It was amazing!!! I really enjoyed the information given. They told us we were going on a tour of the universe and then took us to each planet. I think the kids really enjoyed it too. I also took a much needed break.

Bethany and I had a great time and I am very glad that I had this opportunity!
