Yes, again!! We have made another weekend get-away to Eastman. Time to rest, relax and rejuvenate. It's never boring, never the same. I will say, though, it was a HOT one this weekend. Upper 80s (maybe low 90s) after much cooler weather and I just was not ready for it. Got a nice sunburn too. Oh well, it was so worth it!!!
There were two highlights of our stay this time...The Madera Method Wagon Train and the eagle sighting. Below is the eagle with a hawk and vulture in the air with it. They were so high up I could barely get a shot.
The Madera Method Wagon Train is a team of volunteers, ranchers, teachers and donors that put together an amazing experience for 5th graders from the Madera school. This weekend the St. Joaquim Catholic School children were part of the wagon train team. It's a 4 day, 3 night outing trekking across private ranches in a wagon train...learning to groom, feed, harness the mule team, sleeping on the ground, eating wagon grub, panning for gold, singing campfile songs, calculating math by turns of a wagon wheel...basically living the life of someone 150 years ago. What better way of learning history!!!
