Field Trip!

It wasn't to egypt, or to any egyptian related place... but it was a great educational day none the less! I had the pleasure of helping my niece with her 4th grade mission project. Here in California the standard 4th grade history course of study is California History - and the Callifornia Missions are a huge part of that! So today the GBA visited Mission San Juan Capistrano.
Here are a few highlights:




All the kids in front of a statue of Fr. Serra and an indian child. Douglas thinks he is silly!




Posing in front of one of the many fountains! Again - Douglas thinks he is funny!



Look at these Indians - Now Lauren is funny!


Here is my Niece Gabby making all of us some acorn mash - I'm all about the hand's on learning ya know!


A fun family picture at the end of the day!

Neat, kinda reminds me of a place around here where you learn how the Lenape Indians lived.
Love the family picture!
