Field Trips at Home

I've been quite the homebody since having children, but 2020/2021 has taken it to an entirely new level. We do get out of the house some, but the thing I really miss is taking the boys on "field trips". We enjoyed going to events planned at the conservation center, story times at the library, community events, the aquarium, the parks, and more. While my boys are still young, I do enjoy connecting things we are learning with trips out in the community. Luckily with current technology we don't have to miss out on all of the educational experiences. Below are links to some field trips you can take virtually with your kids. Comment with any others that your family enjoys!
