The homeschool group we are a part of schedules a field trip about once a month and P.E. most every Friday during the traditional school year.
The latest field trip was to a local Fossil Discovery Center. This center began as our local city dump site. In 1993 Mammoth bones were discovered and since then many other now extinct animal fossils and fossils of animals never known to roam this area have been found at this location including a new species of the sabertooth cat. For more information on the center you can visit their web site here: www.maderamammoths.org
Below are a few pictures taken at the fossil center including a mock fossil dig the kids were able to be a part of.

The kids enjoyed their visit and are ready to visit again soon.
