Kolby and Mallorie with their new badges
We took the kids to Mesa Verde for the first time. They enjoyed learning about the Pueblo Indians and becoming Junior Park Rangers. It was a bit difficult for the kids to hike back up, though. Apparently my kids have no muscle in their legs. Jeremy actually had to carry Kolby and Mallorie up for the last half. For school we had been learning all about the different tribes, and famous Indians like Pocohantas, so this was their first field trip. I've always been fascinated by these ancient dwellings, and over the years I've wondered why on earth people would live on the edge of cliffs, and climb up to the top of the mesas to farm. It seems like a dangerous place and way to live.
