Planned Field Trips

So you thought last month was busy?  Not compared to this month.  October is traditionally very busy for us for many reasons.  Number one, it is my favorite season and we go apple and pumpkin picking.  Number two, zillions of people we know plan zillions of things this month.  Number three, Walktober.  There are tons of wonderful educational walks/hikes and outings all over the state this month every year.  We try and do several each year.  This year we are participating in a Project Oceanology boat trip as part of it, as well as a night hike, and a tour and lecture on the fish ladder in Norwich.  Maybe also the historic cemetery walk learning about Benedict Arnold.  We are taking several trips to the Florence Griswold Museum this month for the Wee Faerie Village.  As members we get to go one evening to see all the new exhibits with docents leading tours, and we loved it last year.  We have a class at the Seaport later in the month, and an art class at Florence Griswold.  We are taking at least one trip to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum, and we are joining in field trips with other people to the Yale Peabody Museum and Dinosaur State Park.  We are also going to Pumpkintown.  In early November we are going to Magic Wings, the Eric Carle Museum, Old Sturbridge Village, and a friend is taking us with her to the Boston Museum of Science.  The kids are incredibly excited about that :)  We are also planning at least a trip to the CT Science Center and Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center this month.  In between all the parties, classes, Renaissance Faire, and hikes.
