In May, Ethan's 5th grade class went on a 4 day 3 night field trip to the Bend area to study the geology of Oregon. I was lucky enough to get to go with him. We had a good time and had lots of experiences we would not have had otherwise. We went to Lava Lands, hiked at Smith Rock, walked (and crawled) through a lava tube cave, visited Richardson's Rock Ranch, Peterson's Rock Garden, hiked in the Blue Basin at the John Day Fossil Beds, saw the Painted Hills, and toured the High Deseret Museum. I'm exhausted just remembering it all.
