3/29 ~ Farmer John's Lambs




We were treated to a tour of a sheep farm by the owner, Farmer, John! He showed us all the baby lambs and let the older children lend a hand in feeding the ewes! We learned that it is his herd that gets placed on Mount Jumbo in the summer to help with weed management.

3/22 ~ Big Sky Beetleworks



Gary showed us some of the beetles that he uses to clean the skulls of animals his customers would like cleaned up! The kids were able to see many types of animal skulls - many from around here but even an alligator! Very interesting and fun tour! Big Sky Beetleworks is located just south of Florence, MT.

3/19 ~ Missoula Children's Theater




Terri treated us to a behind the scenes tour of the Missoula Children's Theater! We learned about all the work it takes to put on a show including the stage, costume design and creation, prop construction and more! We saw where all the reusable props are stored. She even let us try on a few hats! Fun tour, Terri!

3/9 ~ Pediatric Dentistry of the Rockies

3/1 - Missoula Federal Credit Union





We were treated to a tour of the new "Green" branch of Missoula Federal Credit Union. We saw all the recycled materials used in the construction from everything from beams, floors and counter tops! We learned about saving money through their Spend, Save and Share Program. The last "event" was dumping piggy banks into the coin counter and watching it work!

2/26 ~ Rosauers Bakery Trou

We toured Rosauers Bakery and learned all about the operations of a commercial bakery! The kids were in awe of the size of the bowls used! All were treated with a little treat at the end. Great tour!

2/11 ~ Jim Palmer Trucking





Did you ever wonder what those big trucks look like inside? Well, we took our group out to see for ourselves. They got to climb in the front, see where the drivers sleep, run the length of the trailer, see where the oil changes and tire repairs take place and even see what a semi-truck wash looks like! Fun was had by all!

1/26 ~ Missoula Art Museum

We toured the Missoula Art Museum! Yikes you might think with a group of touchy toddlers! Not the case at all! They read a darling book about museum behavior and then kept the kids interested with all the various types of art there! What a great experience!

1/19 ~ Kindermusik with Julie Sager

Fun was had by all in this Kindermusik Demo offered by Julie Sager! We danced, sang, and learned a little about music along the way!

1/8 ~ Currents Swimming Play Date



We swam and enjoyed the Friday Toddler Play Group discount offered by Currents! We had a ball!
