The movements and behavior of 4 live reptiles—a crocodile, snake, turtle, and lizard, entranced the children throughout the entire show.

At our arrival we were given a narrated walking tour by the island’s ranger. The children learned about the rich history of the island, and enjoyed exploring Misery’s nature trails.

 Devon
Glen Farm(1 trip in Dec. of 2001) - the children started their learning adventure by hopping into a hay wagon (which was attached to an old tractor) to have a hayride around the farm. Halfway through the ride, the tractor stopped at a hay barn. The children got out of the hay wagon to see where the hay is stored during the winter and to also pick up a bail of hay and a bucket of grain to later feed the animals inside the main barn. On the way back to the main barn, the tractor stopped again allowing the children to see a herd of sheep and a large group of cows grazing in the fields. When we returned to the main barn, half of the children went through the barn to visit with the animals (horses, hens, sheep, goats, and cows) and play in the hayloft, and the other half participated in decorating a Christmas tree and doing a crafts activity (making foam-like Snowmen). After lunch and a lot of excitement, the children went on a candy hunt outdoors, where they searched around trees and rocks for hidden pieces of candy. |
