REGULAR FRIDAY ADVENTURES TO FOLLOW BELOW
August 21th – Deluxe Tour Of An 1880’s Schoolhouse Time – 10:00 – 11:30 am – Place: Old Sacramento – Kick off the new school year with your students and visit a one room schoolhouse. In the 1800’s, life in a one room schoolhouse was very different. Back in the 1800’s you were at school by 8:00 and that was after you worked at home. Children were up by 6:00 am and helped milk the cow and collect eggs from the chickens. After that you walked to school (some children walked up to 6 miles) and began your lessons. Come join me and see what life as a student was like. You better obey the school rules or the teacher might swat you. (Limits were up to 10 swats) We will meet for a morning of learning and fun. You will get to sit in an old desk for your lesson. Meet Ranger Bruce in front of the Railroad Museum. He always carries a green clipboard. Costs - $35.00 per family
August 28th - State Capital Tour - Sacramento. Ranger Bruce will take you on a deluxe tour of the capital. We will walk around all 3 levels and see the House and Senate chambers. I will teach you about our government and how it works. Time – 10:00 – 12:00 (No building fees – Parking meters or garage available). Costs - $35.00 per family - meet on the EAST steps of the capital. That’s the steps with the sun shining on them. Bruce will have a green clipboard so you can identify him. He will also show you the tree that went to the moon. Yep! That’s right. Did you know that the grounds around the Capital were planted in 1872 and 16 of the trees are State and National champions for size? Join Ranger Bruce and learn while you’re having fun. That’s the best way!
- From a homeschool Mom......."Wow, are you in for a treat if you haven't been through this tour with Bruce. He can take you into many areas that the public never sees. The capital is huge and beautiful on the inside. The tour includes both House and Senate chambers, as well as all historical areas. Bruce took us to our senator's office and we met with her for an hour. She opened the door to the floor of the senate and we sat at her desk and took pictures. Soooooooooo cool. He even got us into the governor's office and we all got his personal business card. He was not in town but it was GREAT!" THANKS, BRUCE! YOU’RE THE BEST…………..Brenda

– Astronomy in the Park – It’s time again when you can look at the moon & planets through a very large and powerful telescope with Ranger Bruce as your astronomer. With this big telescope, you can look down into one single creator. I even saw a Taco Bell down inside one creator. (Ha!). At that time we will look at the Sun with a filter to protect our eyes. Lot of sun flares, sun spots and activity will be going on. Part 2 of this deluxe astronomy study will be in the evening. We will gather at Ranger Bruce’s home to look at the Moon and whatever planets are visible that night. Many nights we see Jupiter and 4 of its 16 moons. That’s exactly what Galileo saw.
