Today the Kindergarten and Elementary students went to the Daniel Boone Homestead for a field trip. It was a special "hands-on history" day, so it was rather crowded and crazy! Thankfully, it was not raining, but there was mud and puddles EVERYWHERE! Every one's shoes were covered in mud and even little mud spritzes were on the backs of skirts, pants, and coats. So parents definitely got a welcome treat when they saw their messy children :)
The children got to see a bunch of things though. They got to see and touch different Indian gear, feel different kinds of animal fur, watch a sawmill saw wood, dip candles, see a man slice wood into boards, and many other things. Because of the crowds ahead of us, we didn't get to go inside Daniel Boone's house. By that time anyway the children were anxious to get to the gift shop and then go eat their lunch on the bus. The gift shop was very-very-very crowded and it was a rather claustraphobic experience! I think most of the children found things that they wanted though. Gotta love gift shops :)
Here are two videos from the sawmill...my kiddos thought the water looked like chocolate milk :)
