Boise Watershed

Today was Taylor's field trip and I was lucky enough to go again.
 I only had to chaperone two kids which made it a lot nicer.  Taylor's friend, Amber, joined us.
 The kids learned about the water cycle and played a game to learn about it.  They also enjoyed some exhibits that talked about water and how the water treatment facility works.
 Taylor learning about ground water with the well pump.
 Tree structure made completely out of water works.
They also did several activities using their senses.  They smelled various things, used binoculars to see, listened to nature sounds, touched things found in nature (tasted lunch, later), and also took a walk to see a fox hole and nests with osprey.
