I was fortunate enough to go with Seth on a field trip. It was up one of the canyons to a ranch. It was really interesting and I think the kids had a lot of fun. Seth even took the camera and took some of the pictures. The highlight was the roping. The kids really enjoyed the cowboys and trying it out. some of them even roped the plastic calf. Pretty cool!
