We got a jump start on this year's field trips on Friday and Saturday. Friday we attended a Back to School Bash at Jumpstreet with a new field trip group and Saturday we drove a couple hours west to meet up with my sister and check out the Crockett Days festivities at Davy Crockett State Park. It was such a great time and complemented our last year's history work so perfectly. Warmed us up for this year's as well, if I am being honest!
This dog is half wolf - no neat!
Anna and all her cousins built this rock wall in the stream by the park's museum. Anna's second in less than week!
Learning to make dolls out of corn husks.
Watching a gristmill demonstration, which the kids got to help out with at the end. They participated in sifting the cornmeal.
Then we took a hike that did not lead where we thought it would. It did however take us up a mountain twice, thereby kicking my butt and helping give me twice my day's step goal. HA!
A reallllly big spider being hauled away by a smaller bug. We were fascinated!
Then it was time to play at the little falls area.
And of course we had to hit the playground before heading out.
Group shot! Jack is missing from view, but technically is in there. He hid behind Josh, no longer in the mood for pics. HA!
It was such a great destination that we chatted about returning for a weekend cabin trip soon! The cool air was a wonderful bonus the entire time, too.
And we all still have the Davy Crockett theme song stuck in our heads...
