Mother/Daughter Field Trip




Cassidy didn't have pre-school on Friday so we decided to take a field trip together. We packed a lunch and headed west to the mountains. I thought it would be a perfect time to go see the changing colors of fall. The Aspen trees were beautiful. I think we'll try to go again next weekend. It was so peaceful and quiet being in nature. It was time to eat our lunch and Cassidy enjoyed climbing the rocks at our picnic spot. I enjoyed watching the Aspen tree leaves quake in the breeze.


Below you will see some pictures of what we saw on our adventure:



As much as we liked the cute abandoned cabin, we were too scared to go inside.

As we were heading home we came across a sign on the side of the road that read: Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center with their contact information. This is their website if you're interested to learn more: http://wolfeducation.org/

Spontaneously, we thought it would be neat to go check it out. So we called them and found out that we had missed the last tour. But the kind gentleman asked his boss if we could have a private tour during the wolves feeding time. They never do this, especially at feeding time. She said yes, and for a fee we were able to watch the wolves eat their dinner. We learned so much and since it was feeding time we had the chance to see every wolf there up close. It was an unforgettable experience.
