4th Grade Field Trip

Hunter always wants me to go on his field trips with him which I am SOOOOOO happy about since my oldest child would be MORTIFIED to have me with her on a field trip....LOL! So I joined the 4th grade classes at Old Mill to their day at "This is the Place". I hadn't ever been there and I would love to go back sometime with all of the kids. 
Hunter with his girlfriend giggling at him (he would be mad if he knew I put this on here!)
Hunter with one of his best friends.....Cash Lloyd
I thought these baby ducks following their mamas was so adorable. 
We learned all about the importance of a blacksmith in a pioneer town. 
Hunter was getting a little bored,  I think!
They had a village of pioneer buildings and this one was a replica of a school house that was in Heber. 

Look at the kids in their desks at the schoolhouse. They had authentic chalk boards to write on.
The teacher showed the boys what would happen if the kids got in trouble. She also added books to each hand when they got in trouble a second time. 
I had no idea that the pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley had their own alphabet!
They learned about pushing and pulling hand carts.
I'm glad my boy still loves me!

That is a fun place to go with the kids. Hunter is a cutie and I can see why the girls all giggle when they are around him. He is a charmer, a gentleman, and a sweetheart. Glad you could go with him Jess.

How fun. I haven't been there since I was Hunter's age. He seems like a popular boy. Those ducks were so cute!
