Wow! What a fabulous day!
We arrived at the OAKWOOD Nature Center around ten this morning. We went canoeing down the Huron River in a 30 foot Reproduction of a French Voyageur canoe. We all had a turn to paddle. We all imagined what life might have been like over two hundred years ago. Our canoe ride lasted about forty minutes. Our guide spoke to us about early explorers and traders. After, back on land, we learned more about the daily life of these French explorers. We even practiced “hatchet” throwing. Our classmate Finn was able to successfully hit the mark on the tree. TWO TIMES!!! We were all very happy for him and the rest of us had fun trying.
afterwards we had lunch with a spectacular view of the river. Then walking the trails. We really had a great day being outside and exploring the world around us.
