We loaded up Saturday after Sydney's play ended and headed in Grandma and Papa's RV to central Oregon. Our first stop we unplanned at a cool observatory in a lava field. We also visited a mile long lava tube that we could hike through. It was cold and dark, but cool in there. The kids got to learn about all the different aspects of volcanoes on our trip since we saw them from underground, from the size, in the lava fields, and then from the top. We spent the night at West Paulina Lake and the kids played in a miniature hot spring on the side of the lake in the morning. Obsidian glass fields were next and super cool. Too bad they won't let you bring out any rocks! Our last day we went to see Crater Lake. The kids favorite part was their class with the nature ranger where they got to do an experiment that showed how crater lake was formed. No water flow in or out its just a collapsed volcano core that filled with water! Its also the deepest lake in North America.
