4th Grade Field Trip

I got to go with Breanna's class on a field trip about a week ago out to the desert where the Don's club has some workshops set up.  Unfortunately, the Don's were not expecting us and had another school group there, but they allowed us to stay and they made us feel welcome.
The first station our group went to was about ancient Native American art.  The kids all got to try their hand at painting pottery using a cactus needle.  It wasn't very easy.  Here's Emily and Breanna.

Next up was a station about roping and branding cattle. The kids all got a turn at roping, and although they all wanted to get branded, the presenter didn't think that would be a good idea.  :)

Here's Desiree, Breanna and Emily in front of an old adobe house.

Our last station was panning for gold!  Oh my goodness!  These kids thought they had struck it rich whenever they found anything shiny.  Panning is harder than it looks but they each were able to bring their "gold" home in a little cup.  So fun!

Breanna the frontier woman!

 

I'm so glad I was able to go and spend time with Breanna and her friends.  Great memories!
