Paint Mines

Today was our field trip day.  Like last summer, we dedicate each day of the week to something different. Monday- art project, Tuesday- cleaning, errands, Wednesday- movie day, Thursday-field trip, Friday- cooking. 

Today we went to the Paint Mines Interpretive Park in Calhan.  Aside from being really hot, the kids gave the hike a thumbs up. If you are interesting in checking it out, wear a hat and lots of sunscreen because there are no trees out there on the plains.  None.  Nada.  No trees whatsoever. Just letting you know......

I was really good and took my camera but unfortuately I left it on overnight and the batteries died, soooo I didn't take any pictures.  Pictures are from http://www.discover-colorado-springs.com/. Thanks!
