Trekking This Is The Place Park

Wednesday was the 2nd to last day of school and since I went to the 6th grade dance with Scout, I decided to go on the 4th grade field trip with Curly. I have been to This Is The Place park many times, and I know it can be quite a hike, depending on if you are going up the hill or down, but it was totally different with 4th graders!

They walk (run) fast!!

I was assigned my six boys to escort around the park, but this time we also had set places we had to be at set times. My favorite was the school house because it was cool (and cool) and there was a place to sit for a few minutes.

The train ride was also fun and I enjoyed the learning experience of the blacksmith shop. I had never been with a group that had a chance to pull the handcarts, so that was a new one for me. They didn't allow the adults to touch them and they only pulled them about a block, but it was in at least double time of what the pioneers would have actually done.

We got back home at about 1:30 and I had to take a nap to finish out the rest of my night. I'm starting to get used to this afternoon nap thing...
