It didn't take us long to figure out what subject this would be great for: GEOLOGY. The kids were mesmerized by all the wonderful rocks and rock formations. Geology is not a subject we have studied very much yet, so our discussions were mostly tid bits that my husband and oldest daughter knew about. A good friend and my oldest daughter's Godfather is a geologist so from trips with him they had both picked up a few things here and there.
They talked a little about sedimentary rock layers, weathering, bedding, erosion, earthquakes, and different types of rocks like gravel vs. sandstone. O.K. so maybe not just tid bits, but certainly more than I knew.
I humbly have to admit: dad can lead some nature study too ; )

How neat! The landscape is amazing.
Great for dad.
My husband is now 'making up stories' with them at his sides on bed!
Wow, what a beautiful place to hike. Geology is something we haven't studied much either. I'd love to hear about any good living books you discover on the subject. Love seeing the pictures of your western landscape! :)
Thanks ladies, I do feel blessed. We've enjoyed these hikes as a family.
