Well, here we are, in Gettysburg, PA! It's the end of the second day of our big field trip; we are exactly half way through. It's going really well! So far, we have toured the Julius F. LeMoyne House in Washington, PA (the home of a prominent Abolitionist and a member of the Underground Railroad), visited the Gettysburg Visitor Center and Museum, taken a 2-hour-plus horseback tour of the battlefield, and visited with Max's grandparents in their beautiful home in the Pennsylvania countryside. Still to come: further battlefield exploration, recitations of the Gettysburg Address, an Underground Railroad tour and a scavenger hunt!
Posting photos will unfortunately have to wait until we're back in Ann Arbor (I forgot the connecting cable)...
I hear that the rest of the school is having a lovely time, including a trip to the Arboretum in Ann Arbor. Our thoughts are with all of you, and we can't wait to see you next week!
Sounds like a lot of fun. Parker is doing fine in Ms. Carpenter's class, but is" looking forward to you guys coming back" and seeing all the great pictures from your trip.
ReplyDeleteParker and Peter can't wait to share their experience with the Kids' Art Fair Jury.
