Our Field Trip to Ashfall Fossil Beds

We got on the bus right away in the morning.  The ride was fun and bumpy.  First we went to the bathroom and checked out the fossils on the side of the walkway.  We had a snack before we went on the path.  After that we went to the gift shop and visitor's center and learned about fossils from Sandy.  We got to see ash and other fossils and one was from WAKEFIELD!  We put ash on our fingers and held it up in the sunlight.  It sparkled!  We got to check around in the gift shop.  Mr. Johnson brought a rock that looked like it had a coral in it and he showed it to one of the paleontologists.  The paleontologist thought it might have lived before the dinosaurs.  Then we went inside the Rhino Barn.  We saw a lot of fossils in the Rhino Barn.  Then it was time to go to the pond to eat.  After we ate we played at the park, then we climbed the mountain.  Then we went home.  Lots of us went to sleep and fell on the floor.
