Field TRIP!!!

What a blast we had today at Yates Mill Park. Our tour guide was a professor from NCSU and was so great answering the children's questions and getting them to think about life in earlier times. The mill was built in the 1740's and it is amazing to think about standing in a building that was used before our country was even formed. The wife of the original owner wrote about what a terrible time they had with bears, cougars and wild animals to the point of barely keeping their livestock alive. Amazing to think about as you stand there with cars whizzing past about 20 feet away and knowing 1 million people are now living within 50 miles of that spot! Anyway, enough history lesson - here's some pics!!

Sep. 16, 2007 - Looks Fantastic

Posted by hugabunchmom
What a great field trip. We have got to start making more field trips, I think I'll work on a list of possibilities this week. Thanks for sharing, it sounds so wonderful. Loved hearing the college roommate blessing as well, God is SOOOO good. I know we prayed like crazy this year for our daughter and two new roommates, God has worked it out as well. So much to be thankful for, always.
