Wow, as the title suggests, it was a full day! The girls had fun with their friends Justin and Kaden, and of course, Michele and I had a great time, too. The purpose of our field trip was seeing the monarch migration through Cape May. The best time to experience it is late September/early October, preferably right after a cold front. Today was perfect, but while it was a little too windy for the butterflies right on the beach, we did see a few in the park. After a picnic lunch on the beach and some playing in the sand and water, we saw a monarch tagging demonstration by the Cape May Bird Observatory's Monarch Monitoring Project. The girls were able to hold a butterfly and participate in letting it go. We really had a fun day and learned quite a bit, too.
