Springs Reserve

It's Thursday. Our preschool friend is not coming today so... what should we do? Let's go somewhere fun.

A few years ago on a field trip, I how much fun my students had. So I knew my babies would love it. Even better, I love the price. Free for babies under the age of 5. Also with MILITARY discount, my ticket was only $8.95. What, what?

The pictures don't do our day justice. We learned so much about this great state we live in, Nevada, and especially the "Miracle in the Mojave," the Las Vegas Valley.

We Learned About...

Weather:

Flash Flood Demonstration - Pretty scary to see all that rushing water!

Early Settlers:

Making pottery

Making food

Traveling by train

"High Five Yellow man!" - Jack

Building communities

"So heavy!"

Animal life:

"Bite me. Bite me. Bite me. BIIIIIIITTTTTTEEEEEE MEEEEEEE!" - Jack

"I love turtles mom. I really do!"

"This is a freaking huge rabbit!"

"I am NOT scared of you snake!"

"Jack, do you see that LITTLE girl who is getting on YOUR train?"

"Um, yes. Hey girl. Get off MY train!"

Miscellaneous:

Jack's Train

Lunch:

This was the only disappointment. We ordered. Waited. Waited. WAITED. An hour later, our food came. I would have thrown a fit sooner, but I kept trying to be patient (since this is one thing of many things I am working on) and trying to teach my babies the same. Once the food finally came, it was yummy. Just a bummer they totally forgot our food, and US!
