Caverns Field Trip




I got to chaperon Bella's class on a field trip to the Caverns. It was a hike through the underground caverns. The ground was slippery and wet, sometimes very narrow, at times the ceiling was only 5 feet tall, however, it was very interesting and fun. Some of the formations had names like "fried egg" and "throne". I enjoyed the time with Bella and her wonderful classmates. I also got a reminder lesson on the difference between stalagmites, stalactites and columns. (Whew, I am glad there was not a test!) We also got to "mine" for gold/jewels...Bella returned home with a bag of loot, she was thrilled. The jewel for me was special time with my daughter!
