Casa Grande Ruins

Well summer was over and we traveled our little tails off.  Spent time moving down to AZ.  Then went to Amy's in NV.  Spent 9 days in the midwest.  And then we were back home ready for school to start.  It was a really busy summer.  But, before it ended, we had one last trifold trip to make.  We went down to Casa Grande Ruins.  Trent needed to visit a national historic site for scouts.  This happened to be one tha we could get a stamp in our National Parks Passport.  And Laycee brought home Mr. Bear from school and he needed some fun things to write about in his journal.  Here are Trent and Logan raedy for an adventure!

 I know its hard to see, but the black spot in the corner of the covering here is an owl!

 They had a Jr Ranger program here, which the kids really loved!  Here is Logan searching the desert for some of the things on his checklist.

 Laycee and Mr. Bear working on her packet for her Jr Ranger Badge.

 All of the kids out front after earning their badges.

This was a surprisingly fun place to visit.  Its super small, but the kids really enjoyed all of the activities.  We had packed a lunch and spent several hours here!  It is close to home and only cost I believe $5 for all of us!  I did not expect it to be as enjoyable as it was.  The kids would have loved to stay longer, but I ran out of energy well before they did.  If you are in the area and looking for a fun thing for the kids to do, this is definately a must see!
