Cooper had his first ever school field trip today - and I was able to go with him. Four of the first grade classes visited the Smoky Mountain Heritage Center in Townsend, TN. As Cooper put it, they were going to learn about the old days...like the 1970s!!
a little school work before the trip begins
his first ride on a school bus
listening intently to the guide
sitting in church!
a church from the 1890s
a typical house for a family of four
learning how to make corn cob darts
letting them fly!
a typical barn
ready...set...throw
Love his face!
throwing for accuracy
Cooper hit the target!

reading in the outhouse
me and my boy
remember...this is only 4 of the 18 1st grade classes at Cooper's school!!!
the kids all helped shake the mason jar to make butter
each child had to do a chore...Cooper's was to sweep the front porch
tasting the butter they made...Cooper said it was the best thing he'd ever eaten!
they all made button strings
and practiced with the wheel & hook
