This week's Mom School theme relates to "Where People Live," which is building up to our big move next week to our permanent house (watch for more info and pics coming soon!) So we ventured to the Manitou Cliff Dwellings at the foot of Pikes Peak today to learn more about this ancient home of Native Americans. We got to walk and climb inside the cliff dwellings (very interesting ... and dusty), and we witnessed some traditional dancing, too. A good history lesson for us all!
On the car ride home, we were reviewing the lesson of our field trip.
- Mom: So did you boys know that long ago people lived in those cliff dwellings?
- Luke: Did you know that Jesus lives in outer space?
Mom knew no other response than to chuckle at the insight of a young mind trying to grasp where people from long ago live.

A traditional dance resembling an eagle in flight.
