Mt. Pleasant Classical Academy

MK and I took a little field trip to Cape Henlopen State Park today; wonderful weather, great group of HS’ing kids for the most part. There was only one kid who did not know the meaning of “Do Not Touch That” (or stop doing that, or hands to yourself). I’ll blame the parents for the lack of discipline in the kid, not the kid. They just shock their head when the kid didn’t listen to their request to “stop” !! YIKES!

Anyway, MK learned about the importance of a marsh and we walked out into the marsh too. Did you know that if you rub your fingers on a marsh grass blade you can taste the salt on your hand? Really! The marsh grass excretes the salt out to the surface and the reason scientist give for why the marsh grass doesn’t swell up in size. We also tasted sea moss that was salty and tasted just like celery. But the best part; having half the group jump into the air sending shock waves through the marsh for the rest of us to feel. Totally cool and something I had never experienced before. Worth all the mosquito bites I received.
