10/27 - Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation





We were treated to a guided tour of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation where we learned all about many animals and their habitats. We did a coloring/scavenger hunt activity, played with all the buttons and heard many elk sounds and ended up with our own set of antlers to take home as a souvenir.

SoccerTots - 10/12/09




What great timing this was! After a few very frigid days in a row, our group was treated to a demo class by SoccerTots! They ran, chased Coach Joe, learned soccer skills without even knowing it and blew off a little steam from being cooped up inside!

PEAS Farm - 10/08/09



Once again, the PEAS Farm treated us to an educational and FUN tour of their working farm! What a turnout we had! We were able to taste kale and cabbage right from the plants. :) I've never seen kids so excited about kale!

Scavenger Hunt - 09/21/09





Our group headed to Greehough park in search of "Y" shaped twigs, insect eaten leaves, blades of grass and more for a fun scavenger hunt!

Great Harvest Bread Co - 09/14/09

Great Harvest Bread Co. was generous enough to let us tour their bakery! The children learned about the very basics of bread making down to the wheat plant itself! Each got a little piece of dough to handle and were treated to a sample piece of bread at the end of the tour! Great fun...and full tummies...were had by those there. :)

Museum of Mountain Flying - 9/03/09



September started out with a tour of the Museum of Mountain Flying. The children were able to climb right in to the pilot seat of several airplanes, climb aboard an original smoke jumper aircraft as well as several other airplanes! This is located right on the grounds of the airport in Missoula and is a great hands-on tour for kids of all ages.
