So fun!
That's a wrap to a fantastic family day!
We recently studied about the people of the Revolutionary War so this was just the icing on the cake. I love experiences like this where history is not just dry information in books but it becomes LIVING HISTORY!
The field trip is geared towards 5th graders but kids of surrounding grades would enjoy it as well. Zach did not participate in any of the stations with the girls but he sure had a blast exploring around the farm with daddy.
For our family, Riley's Farm is a very special place. It's where we go to enjoy all the seasons. It's where we've picked apples, pumpkins, and berries. It's where we celebrate special occasions and remember those who have gone before us. Honestly, some of our best memories have been made there. And we're so thankful for yet another fun day, filled with many more sweet memories!
