5th Grade Field Trip

Ashley’s class got to go on a field trip to Craters of the Moon.  We haven’t stopped in for a couple of years.  We have driven by lots and lots, but it was fun to go on some new trails and see some new things.   We went on a major off trail hike (it was on a trail, but it was a rough trail).  We hiked two miles in and then had to hike out too.  It was up steep hills and down steep hills.  I had no idea I was getting myself into a major hike!  It was great though.  The weather was warm but windy of course. 

This shot is looking back to the highway, she is standing on a cliff right here and it dropped down into that lava flow behind her.

This is looking back towards Burley/ Twin Falls.  There was the warmest wind coming up here off of the black craters, it was crazy!

Hayden and Ashley this was called Snow cone.  It was a smaller volcano.

There was still snow down inside of some of the craters.

This was climbing out of one of the caves.

This was a cool arch way we had to crawl under and out of to get out of the cave.

The time passed way to quickly.  We had a great time hiking around and I liked visiting with all of the other Moms who went too.  I love going on field trips with the kids, it is a special time to just be one on one.  We all enjoy it!
