I'VE BEEN HAPPY TO GO ON THE FIELD TRIP TO SOUTHWICK FOR MANY YEARS. EVERY YEAR WE GO ON THE TRAIN RIDE, AND EVERY YEAR WE GO BY A POND AND SWAMPY AREA. EACH TIME I GO ON THE TRAIN RIDE I SEE SOME SORT OF SNAKE SLITHERING BY. THIS YEAR WAS NO EXCEPTION. I WISH I HAD A PICTURE BUT I WILL TELL YOU IT WAS BLACK AND ORANGE. I THINK IT JUST KNEW WE WERE COMING!!! WE ALSO HAD CANADIAN GEESE BLOCKING THE TRAIN AS WELL AS AN ANIMAL THAT LOOKED LIKE A MOOSE ONLY A BIT SMALLER. WE HAD A FANTASTIC TRIP. ALL OF THE KIDS WERE VERY WELL BEHAVED AND ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. THE WEATHER COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BETTER! HERE ARE SOME PICS FROM THE TRIP. I WILL POST MORE ONCE MY NEW PHONE (IT'S MY HUBBY'S OLD ONE) IS UP AND RUNNING. THANK YOU TO OUR CHAPERONES FOR PROVIDING US WITH THESE PICTURES!
