Field Trip Time

Little miss had her first field trip of the year - they headed to Living History Farms as it went along with their current Social Studies lessons.

They started off in the 1875 town with the broom maker and the Implements building.

Then it was a short trek to the Ioway Indians and the other farms.

As crummy as it would have probably been, I would totally stay in the cabin for a weekend :)

 

The 1900's Horse-Powered Farm.

 

 

During the trip, one of the Moms that takes her kids to LHF regularly was telling me that they had gone on a tour and one of the tour guides mentioned the "family toothbrush". Per that tour guide the family would share one or two toothbrushes. I don't think I could have handled that...
 

 

It would seem that I can't go anywhere at the moment without running into a woolly caterpillar...

Field Trip

Little man's class had a field trip to Living History Farms last week and I got to tag along.  I was surprised at how many students counted this field trip as their first trip to the Farms.  We didn't see everything but the sites we did see were a bit more interactive than we get on a random trip to the Farms so it all evens out in the end.  I was a bit bummed to find out that they moved the Ioway Indian area from the woods to an upper field closer to one of the other farms - that wooded trail was one of my favorite things about that portion of the experience...

In no particular order, here are some photos from our day.
