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.
He of course LOVED riding the bus.
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.
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.
He grabbed the camera from around my neck to take a selfie.
They did a scavenger hunt for different pectroglyphs on the trail.
And they learned how to grind mesquite beans into flour.
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.
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.
Stick a fork in him. He was SO done.
They got to peck on a rock to see how the pectroglyphs were made. That was awesome.
And then we all got to make our own pectrogylph on a clay disc to take home.
Regan really wanted to take my picture. He looked at it and called it perfect. 🙂Aside from being hot, it was a great field trip. I’m so happy he’s not to cool for me yet. 🙂
