Look Closely…snow on the ground!!

We went to Canyonlands National Park today and guess what…. IT SNOWED!!!! We didn’t let that stop us though! It was definitely worth dealing with the cold to see Mesa Arch!

 

We are zooming through Junior Ranger Programs! The boys received their 6th badge today. They hiked a two-mile trail with a ranger and talked about geology, plants, and animals of the region. There was so much information that they were tuning out, for a bit. They tuned back in when I informed them this was there schoolwork for the day and if they weren’t paying attention there would be a badge and I would give them extra schoolwork when we got back. That ranger didn’t know what to do with my little wiz-kids after that! Mason was answer questions about the difference between a mesa and a butte…..Aiden was talking about Uranium and Preston was all excited about the fact kangaroo rats don’t pee…..Griffin…well he was playing in a puddle…But he did the whole hike and for a 5 year old…that counts!
