Story

Thursday, we loaded up the car and then took a trip down to Hagerman National Monument. We perused the small museum, and the kids did their junior ranger packets. The ranger asked Savannah what she learned, and Savannah said she didn't learn anything because she knew everything already. Typical 12-year-old. We didn't go all the way out to the fossil beds due to time constraints.
