WHAT A FUN DAY IN HISTORY!

Hello there. We survived the long bus ride and had an AMAZING time traveling back in time. I have sooooooooo many videos and pictures that I want to share with you. Please enjoy the smile box slideshow below. A HUGE thank you to Riley's grandma, Peggy, for coming along. She took a group of her own and they had a great time learning so many things. We didn't quite make it on time so we missed some the stations (like churning butter :0(). Drats. The ones we did go to were awesome though. Many of the kids said their favorite one was the sewing and quilting with the creepy dolls upstairs (ask them) and the church. They loved to sing an Amercian song out of an old hymnal. Sooooo cool! Please note, I was only able to take pictures of my group's happenings. I snuck over to the other group when they were near us, but they all experienced the same things plus more!

We were not in tall grass, but we were out in grass. A tick check before bed or showers might be a great idea.

Homework tonight is to write a thank you card. I am not sure who to write it to yet, so I told them to leave it blank until tomorrow. They MUST be at least a half page long and have a picture of something they learned on the bottom. YES, it has to be colored.

Tomorrow is a normal day. We will have spelling tests and our West Regional states and capital's test.

Lastly, it was brought to my attention on the bus ride home that some kids have yet to see the Lego movie. I was shocked! This movie is all about BELIEVING! I think it should be homework this weekend to check it out. :0) I also heard that some parents think the new park over by Faith E church is only for people that go to that church. That couldn't be farther from the truth. It is open to the public anytime, and it is FUN, FUN, FUN! (There Adelaide, Abi, Nolan, and Taryn…I told your parents just like I said I would.) :0)

Have an awesome night! I get to go home and snuggle with Beau Beau. He came home from school sick. Poor guy needs his mom. :0)
