Last week we packed up and headed South and West to Pinnacle Mountain. We went to a demonstration they were having called "A Worms Eye View." It was so much fun. The Ranger that was there was so sweet to the kids. It was open to any and everyone but the only ones there were Tracy, Becky and I with our respective "crews". So we had the place to ourselves. The kids got to draw on the ground and then they crawled around as Ranger Sarah showed them what a worm might see when it crawls through the grass. She showed them how the blades of the grass look different from each other and how different grasses look different from say a clover patch. She also scared up some bugs in the grass that a worm might see. The kids loved every minute of it. When we were done with the demonstration we walked the Kingfisher Trail. Ms. Becky knew of a cool tree that the kids could get in and have their picture taken while they were inside the tree. It was a major hit with all of them. We also went to the Visitor's Center and explored up there. The kids (and the mom's) were impressed by the honey bee display that was there. It was cool and freaky all at the same time. They have a hive (I guess that's what you'd call it) and the bees fly in from outside and this thing is COVERED in bees. So creepy...one of us, I won't say who but her name starts with a "T" and ends with "racy", didn't love the bee display. At the end of our adventure we headed over to Chick-fil-a for a playdate with food...no better way to end a day...Friends and Food....
