Riverboat Cruise Field Trip!!

We had a great field trip on Tuesday, April 1st!! There were about 80 homeschoolers all together that went and it was so much fun!! We went on a cruise with http://www.savannahriverboat.com/. The weather was great and we all had such a good time! I'll let the pictures tell about our adventure.

Here are some of us, waiting to board the boat.

So excited as we start to move....he said " Mama, we about to FLOAT!!!"

If I remember right, this one was some sort of research vessel.

Tug boats!

Our captain! He was great. He even played a funny April Fool's joke on us!

Back on land, we were heading to get our picnic lunches out of the vehicles.

There are always lots of birds around the water.

I think he was saying he didn't want his picture taken!!

Picnic time!! Our neighbors the Smitheys, Lisa and her kids, Stephanie and hers, and all of us enjoyed some time down on Riverstreet after the cruise. We all brought lunch and ate together.

Then the kids ran off some energy playing in the trees for a bit. Did you know there were monkeys in the trees down in Savannah!!

The cool guys!

No day on Riverstreet would be complete without a visit to http://www.riverstreetsweets.com/. We all got free samples of pralines and the kids watched them making salt water taffy. Then of course, everyone needed ice cream to end the day!!

Almost all our kids (4 families).

After this, it was time to head home. Everyone was tired and it was a good thing! Just as we left Savannah, the rain poured down!! It was perfect timing!! The kids told me on the way home that this was one of the best field trips so far!!
