The Wild West

Chaser had a field trip last week to Rawhide for a little education about the wild west.
They asked the kids what year they thought it was back then. Chase's friend Aidan guessed 1985!


Learning about the jail.
The kids were all fascinated and a little nervous.


They have several different stagecoaches. Chase had to sit in them all!


Train ride...


Gun fight!
Chase was worried the whole time that they were really hurting each other and we shouldn't be watching this.
They were good with the kids though and explained all of their stunts.


Panning for gold...


Who knew there were harnesses and rock climbing back then?


Chase's class


Finally...
Chase's latest school project: Leprechaun Trap

Chase is luring the little guy to his tree house with gold. When he goes to grab it he falls down a hole...captured!!!
It is still at school so we will have to wait and see if he has caught anything when he gets back from Spring Break??

The infamous Raw Hide. I have heard many a story of that place. I only hope Olivia will get to enjoy it someday! And the cool zoo in the next post!
