The Museum Day




Today's day was pretty exiting with awesome weather. We started out with a trip to Tupper Lake for the Wild Center. I was really impressed with its grandeur of the main building there. They had many hands on activities for kids, otters swimming, lots of trout and turtles, and plenty of interesting facts to read. I wish that I had taken along a notebook to jot some information down because I have such a bad memory.
Next, we trotted off to Blue Lake, where the Adirondack museum is located. I am definately returning to this place with my husband because he would get such a kick out of it. I was impressed with how many wagons they had collected over the years, along with the fancy train car. Since the start of this class, I was interested in how the Adirondack mountains came to be and how the area became settled. This was a neat place to learn about the birthplace and the people that had come to live in the area.
After dinner, a few of us went out on the canoes and kyacks because it was so beautiful out. No luck catching any fish....maybe tomorrow.
