Every year the Georgia Department of Natural Services puts on an educational event called Coast Fest. There are over 400 learning exhibits and it is all free. We've watched re-enactors set off muskets and canons, explored the science of archeology, boarded Coast Guard boats, built blue bird houses and touched sharks. I look forward to it every year, and the week following our school is spent reading and studying all the materials we've collected from the fest.
My wee girl is painting a concrete structure that is used to create reefs.
My boy is playing colonial cricket, here.
We had planned to spend a few hours exploring the exhibits, and instead we were there for six hours.
I guess that was a bit too long for our youngest child.
Do you have anything like this in your area?

What a great looking field trip:) My kids would have loved painting the concrete since we are reading about this in our Ocean studies:) thanks for linking up to the Field trip hop
