On the BusOur bus picked us up in front of
school. Many of the us had never been on a
school bus. Our bus driver, Ed, had a
one-of-a-kind, air-conditioned bus. We were
riding in style. Mrs. G, and Mrs. Honeycup gave
us many facts about Redlands as we rode along.
3
High StreetOur bus drove down High Street and we
learned that old parts of Redlands have cut-stone
curbs. We saw this old Victorian house and a
hitching post made of a huge rock. Can you see
the fish scales and sunburst on the house?
4
University of RedlandsEd, our driver, dropped us
off by the University of Redlands and we walked
through the campus, over the Zanja (Sankey), and
up to the Administration Building.

University of RedlandsWe heard our own echo
bounce off the Chapel.

Stone HousesWho knew beautiful stone houses
could be found on 6th Street behind school? Do
you see the wagon wheel, basket, etc?

extension of the San Gabriel Mission.

Aaahhs as we drove up to this mansion. We loved
itand its 96 windows.

orange grove home and took a close look at the
Kapok Tree.
12
Spanish HomeThis home has a bowling alley in the

walk through the Smiley Library. We saw a statue
of the Smiley Brothers, carved faces, and over
100,000 books.

flowers were pansies, which are always planted in
the flower bed.

Memorial.

on our way to Smiley Park to eat lunch. We
learned that concerts and performances are free
to the public on Tuesday summer nights.
18
Prospect Park and Kimberly CrestWe got back on
the bus and drove over to Prospect Park. We
walked up the steps to Kimberly Crest.
19
Kimberly CrestWere still walking! Did you know
there are 77 steps to get to the front door of
the mansion? (Wow! Thats one of Mrs. Treurs
favorite numbers!)
20
Kimberly CrestWe finally made it to the mansion!
Our tour guide, Mrs. G, said we had been so well
behaved on the tour so far that we would do
something no other class had ever done on the
Tour of Redlands before. She let us tour the
mansion as an entire class! Afterward, we each
got one of Mrs. Shirks famous ginger cookies and
we searched for turtles and frogs in the koi pond
behind the mansion.
21
Secret PathMrs. G let us walk down the secret
path back to the bus. Sadly, this was our last
stop.
22
Back to SchoolWe had tons of fun, but now we had
to get back on the bus and head back to school.
23
Thats all!

• We had a blast.
• Mrs. G, Mrs. Honeycup, and Ed the bus driver said
  we were the best class theyve ever had on the
  tour before!
• You should be proud of us!
