Great Falls

Every so often, I think I am taking time off from home schooling, but it never seems to happen.

Yesterday, with the sun shining and highs in the 70s, I thought we'd take the day off and go to Great Falls.

We did go to Great Falls, and we had a wonderful time... but the kids were curious about the rocks: were they igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic?

I guessed sedimentary because I could see the layers - wrong! They were mostly metamorphic.

And then they climbed all over the place, which was too much like PE (at least it got my heart rate up), and then we found the ranger station and it had all kinds of exhibits...

But I guess it's OK because we did have a nice time, and, after all, they are such deer children...
