Two days after I got home from Las Vegas, I was on a chartered bus to Tucson with Ryan and his classmates. It was an early morning, and a long drive, but it was amazing once we got there. Ryan and his friend Abe were the two I was assigned to, and it was amazing the things we were able to see. 
Abe is pretty interested in owls. So, when we learned that they were going to be training the great horned owl at noon, we made it a point to be there. It was amazing, the owl was flying right over our heads. 
The museum was really interesting, they have a lot of hands on things for the kids to learn about the desert southwest. The boys climbed into the shell of a tortoise and pretended to be turtles. It was entertaining. 
They have a cave that you can go spelunking (or however it is spelled) and the boys loved going through it, and especially when there were girls in their class around so they could scare them. They also have a display so you can pretend to be a mouse or a bat and see how big the ears would be in relation to your body. 
In random places they had volunteers to show people about different things or animals, Abe was really excited to see the barn owl. 
Even though it was a whirlwind week, I am glad I got to go with Ryan and his class!
