Field trip to Recycling Plant

We went on a fieldtrip today with some other Homeschoolers.  It was so fun and we learned so much.  The kids got to climb the giant pile of cardboard outside and see how it is squished up and bundled.  Here are a few great pictures of the fun day!

Everyone having a great time at the top, jumping off!
