October Field Trips!!!

Cowtown
This field trip took us back in time to a County Fair in the 1800's, but first we need a fire lesson.

With this trailer we were able to see how prepared the kids were if a fire broke out in the house. Being a daughter of a fire fighter I thought we had this one covered with our already multiple fire drills...Sorry Dad, looks like we need more practice... A~boy just sat their crying, but K~girl did go out the window right away!

Off to the 1800's they go!!!

Here the kids had a chance to experience a spelling lesson in a one room school house.

Here's Ms. Mel giving a lesson on how they washed and dried their clothes back in the day.

Hammer Time!

They printed their own tickets on the old time printing press!
We learned people back then couldn't just go buy their clothing in a store like we do now.
What's a fair without an organ grinder...

A guy calling us over to look at a tent filled with wonders from around the world...

or fun old time games?


What a History lesson, and a new appreciation for our dental care!!!

It was a perfect pumpkin picking day, with all the typical fall Kansas weather~ cold and windy!

It could have been raining and we still would have had an extrordinary experience.This was such a beautiful place.

They had so many activities for the kids...

and for Mommy and Daddy too!

What you don't see is us jumping on the big balloon. It was too fun I had to put the camera down!


In the middle of all the fun we worked some school in. We learned all about pumpkins, and how most pumpkin farms will set bee hives up around the pumpkin patch to help in pollination. Very interesting...

Time to find that perfect pumpkin!

Found two perfect pumpkins!!!;p

This was such an amazing day~ with our little pumpkins!
