We are trying to visit as many national monuments and parks in Arizona as we can. Today we took a field trip to the Casa Grande Ruins. Truth be told it is practically in our backyard. We drove by it once a week for two years as we would go to gymnastics and yet this is the first time we have ever visited it. I am so glad we finally went! It was a great trip and so informative.
For starters do you know about "Every Kid in a Park". Google it! If you have a 4th grader or homeschool age equivalent you can get a pass that gets 3 adults and all your kids in to any national park or monument for FREE!! We discovered this last year and renewed it this year with Natasha and this was our first visit using it.
They have a junior ranger program which involved the kids each getting a booklet that they had to fill out during our trip. I loved this! We all learned some interesting facts about the "Big House". Outdoor, hands on learning is the best!
We can't decide if our next trip will be up north to Flagstaff and the Walnut Canyon or south to Tucson to Tumacacori.
