The Oregon Garden

is a GORGEOUS place to visit in the Fall! I'm sure it's beautiful during the summer as well, but not much can beat the colors of Autumn......

Anna's class (and the other 5th grades at Lee Elementary) received a grant for an environmental field trip to the Oregon Garden out in Silverton. The weather was perfect and the location amazing! Most of all, I loved spending the day with Anna!

Only in Oregon will you find a slug themed drinking fountain......

This reminded me of Ever After....

Magnifying glasses are for fun......say aaah!

And observing worms in dirt......

The great Blue Heron....watching this fly was pretty amazing!

These lily pads were just about the coolest thing I'd ever seen!

So....if you get the opportunity to get out to the Oregon Garden, I'd take it! We have never gone out here before, but you can bet we will be returning!
