Exploring the Rain Forest

What a good looking group of Junior Explorers!
We visited the LA Arboretum (free every third Tuesday!!) to experience the Rain Forest. The kids had a great time and learned a lot. We were all exhausted, and filthy, afterwards!

Tanner gave a report on the four layers of the Rain Forest. He made a layer dessert so everyone could remember what he had taught. It even included three foods that grow in the Rain Forest!


After our Rain Forest experience, our Bishop, who is also the Dad of 5 of the Junior Explorers, took us on a tour of his Police Station, which is near the Arboretum. All these boys were in Heaven. Tanner kept saying he learned soooo much at the Police Station. He was very impressed with the SWAT car he got to go in and trying on the Motorcycle Police helmet. Hunter loved the Police motorcycle lights. I learned a lot too and after hearing about what our Bishop does everyday, am very grateful Ladd is not a police officer. I don't know how Julie sleeps at night!
Hooray for Police Officers and their families!!
