Had a great day
Today was a field trip day. Another Mom from church (also the same lady who turned me on to COVA for homeschooling in colorado)and I loaded up our kids, she has 3 plus my 2, in her mini van and we went to Golden, Colorado to visit the Colorado Railroad Museum. It's all mostly outdoors and the temps were in our favor, around 55 or 60. We saw a bunch of trains...including (for all you preschooler Moms) Thomas. But he was in the roundhouse in storage. you could see him from the window though.
Here's where we went
www.crrm.org
On our way home my two and her youngest fell asleep. We spent close to three hours there, the kids had a blast.
edited to fix the url, it's supposed to be .org
