In the rain and mud, UPK forged on for a trip to Finch Hollow yesterday!! The kids were treated to a lesson on the difference between birds and mammals, then allowed to touch some stuffed animals that had once been alive. We went outside for the hiking portion of the show, and slogged through puddles and mud. The main trail that leads to the pond was totally underwater, so we had to look at the pond from a berm on the opposite side. We ended by climbing up a hill and tried not to slide down. It was a fun trip and I am grateful that the state of NY found money to keep this park open to the public and for field trips.
