On our way to get hay for our heifer one evening, we stopped at Paint Mine Interpretive park, a place half mile from Calhan. It has formations made out of clay, which the Indians used for paint years ago. Here are the girls among the formations in this fascinating place.

Sam and Timmy explore another intriguing spot.

Oops! We got mixed up and these pictures got in the wrong place!

On the trail before we got into the clay formations. It just looked like prairie at first, but then we started into the clay formations. Of all things, we forgot to bring a coat for Baby Hannah, so we ended up wrapping her in two blankets and Mom carried her most of the time. She fell asleep on the walk.

More of those interesting formations behind us.

There were so many colors such as these pink stripes. We children wanted to climb the formations, but signs asked people not to , so we tried to respect that. As we walked, the moon came up over the prairie. It was so pretty.
