Palm Springs Tram Ride

During the Thanksgiving Break - We took the Aerial Tram Ride in Palm Springs. It was a little scary being in a big heavy box suspended in air by wires as the box ascended into the air - up and over cliffs. When we got to the top - the view was breath-taking. Andrew enjoy climbing the rock and mountain side. We had fun taking the mile long trail way. The air was clean and crisp. We enjoyed spending the day together.

Andrew's 3rd grade teacher gave the class an assignment to make a model of one of the missions of California. Andrew chose to do the San Gabriel Mission located in Los Angeles area. We went to visit the mission so Andrew could get a feel for what a mission was and how the people were who lived in a mission.
