They got to see where the cows get milked - the initial step in making their products! They have milk, cheese, butter, and much more. The kids had a great time!

4/9 ~ Police Station Tour

Always a very popular tour for our group is the Police Station! The kids get to see the inside of the police station and then the highlight is the sirens and lights at the end! I was with a sick child so I missed it and didn't get any pictures. :(

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!
