A field trip

I am so behind on this little blog of mine.  I used to do so much better at least hitting the highlights of our happenings.  Now..... life happens way faster than I could ever keep up with.

 

We decided we wanted to try to do some fun field trips this summer.  It is hard (at least for me) to incorporate field trips into my school year.  I'm always busy trying to get our school work done on top of the other demands of life.  Anyway, we recently took an afternoon and went to Andersonville's National Prisoner of War Camp.

I love our area of the state.  There is so much beautiful farm land. 

My "little" family.  Still strange sometimes doing things without my oldest two.  They grow up on you fast!  I wouldn't want it any other way, but it is still sad. :(

 He couldn't sit still through one of the documentaries that we watched so I let him walk around.  A group of soldiers came in to tour the museum and he was in awe.

 This was before I booted Mac out! :)

The boys thought the cannons were pretty cool!

 

 It was a warm day, but not as hot as it has been this week!

 

I told him to smile and he told me he was posing like a prisoner.

Myles..... always smiling. :)

Macheus.... always busy!

  Madeline-  Soaking up this time with her! Once school starts back this fall, she will be swamped!

 

A view of the camp.  Kind of sobering.

Stopping for a watermelon break!

Love these kiddos so much!

Macheus-  Obviously enjoying his!

 

 

 And.....When you are a little boy, you always dress up the part of whatever you have read/studied about!

Well, so much going on in my life right now. I have saved a bunch of pictures to the computer.  Maybe I will post again soon!
