Castlewood Canyon State Park


Hey there -
This past Thursday, we went on a great field trip to Castlewood Canyon State Park to finish up our look at the 5 senses. We joined forces with some other adults and their kids. We had a blast! The weather was fantastic and the kids loved the hike. Boy, were they troopers - it wasn't that short of a hike but they hung in there until the end!

We talked about all the senses -
Sight - trees, boulders, birds, canyon, water, ice, snow...
Sound - water, birds, crunchy leaves...
Smell - ponderosa pine trees - they smell like vanilla waffle cones :)
Touch - tree bark, rocks, lichen, moss...
Taste - snack and lunch, of course!

It was a great review of the 5 senses. Now we're ready to move onto our next theme, "Monsters"!

Take care everyone -
