Regan’s 1st field trip

Regan was SO excited that I was able to go with him on his first field trip. First time being on a bus, first time going to the Rock Art Museum, first time seeing petroglyphs.

There were 18 kiddos and 5 adults. The bus was pretty much empty. Regan chose a set clear in the back. And I apparently have anxiety about being in a moving vehicle without a seat belt. I don’t love that. I am newly grateful that our kids don’t ride the bus to school. IMG_1569

He of course LOVED riding the bus. IMG_1570 IMG_1571

We had a girls group and a boys group. I was with the boys because, well Regan is a boy. This was pretty much my view as I brought up the rear.IMG_1573 IMG_1577

Regan guzzled his water about five minutes into the hike. And then later he took over mine. It was freaking 80 degrees. It’s NOVEMBER. Were were all over dressed. I was wishing for shorts by the end.IMG_1579

He grabbed the camera from around my neck to take a selfie.

They did a scavenger hunt for different pectroglyphs on the trail.IMG_1586 IMG_1588 IMG_1592

And they learned how to grind mesquite beans into flour.IMG_1594 IMG_1595 IMG_1596 IMG_1597

Regan was SO hot and sweaty that he was itching and scratching like crazy. I had him put his hand on his head. He starts allergy shots on Tuesday. Poor kid.IMG_1605

When we were done with the hike we got to go inside. The boys all needed more water and a cool place to sit for a minute.IMG_1606

Stick a fork in him. He was SO done.IMG_1608

So done.  HAhaha! IMG_1609

They got to peck on a rock to see how the pectroglyphs were made. That was awesome.IMG_1610 IMG_1611

And then we all got to make our own pectrogylph on a clay disc to take home.IMG_1612 IMG_1613

Regan really wanted to take my picture. He looked at it and called it perfect. 🙂IMG_1615Aside from being hot, it was a great field trip. I’m so happy he’s not to cool for me yet. 🙂
