Staycation Part 2: Palo Duro Canyon, WT, and Camps

It has been an interesting summer of looking at Amarillo in a different way.  One thing we love about travel is doing things, going places, eating, etc.  Here we don't seem to go and do.  So, we decided to look at Amarillo as a tourist might.   A few weekends back we took a little ride out to Palo Duro Canyon.  It was so fun to go on our first hike together.   
 We took it easy and just went up into a little cave.  Finn thought he was super hiker extraordinaire.  
 He wanted to get up on the top of all this...
 We said, "Maybe next time.." 
 Tosh is a camper, hiker, outdoor trooper.  I haven't done a lot of hiking, but I don't mind it. If I knew for certain there was not going to be a rattlesnake in my path, I would hike more.

 It was a hot day out there...
  
Last weekend we hit up the splash pad and the pool.   As we waited on the WT activity center to open, we headed over to show Finn some more of the campus.  He enjoyed getting to see where I went to college...


Finn has gotten to do several camps at the Discovery Center this summer.  He has really enjoyed them...
The first one was Superhero camp...
They made so many cute things...

 His jet pack...
And I had to sneak a pic of him wearing his mask he made...
He also did Dr. Seuss Science.   They made an "aquarium" using a sandwich bag, hair gel, and toy fish.   Finn was so excited to tell me, "Mom did you know that hair gel comes from the ocean?"
