The 3rd graders at Wallin got to go on a field trip to Mt. Charleston in June. It was a great finish to the children learning about the desert and different desert animals. On the way up the mountain they stopped 3 times to document the changes in the flora and fauna. Their destination was a camping area with a lodge and cabins. Philip was able to chaperone and said it was like a mini Scout camp. They both said they had a great time!

| The kids worked on skits at school so they'd be ready to go at campfire time. Here is Gavin and a friend doing "The invisible bench" Those scout years are paying off.:) |
 |
| Gavin got to sleep on the top bunk but all reports said he kept hitting his head on the ceiling when he'd sit up. Ouch! |

| Gavin and his friend Kody - they made an emergency shelter. |

Cydney had so much fun at the same field trip during her 3rd grade year at Lamping. I'm so glad Mr. O'Dowd has continued the tradition. Mt. Charleston is a beautiful area, but the stark contrast between the Vegas Valley and this mountain idyll is a bit shocking, isn't it? Glad Gavin and Phillip had fun!
I'm very happy to see the pine trees! I had heard rumors in the past about them but first time I've seen a picture! What a great school for the kids...you guys are blessed in so many ways!
