Math

Rachel created a math problem for my dad, see below. Note the date. She was in 3rd grade, this was the day after her 8th birthday. She created this problem for him and had him fill out the paper with the answers.

Whitman Mission Field Trip

I went on a field trip with Rachel on Tuesday. We had a fantastic time. I was reminded of what it's like to ride a school bus - something I hadn't done in several years. We had the most beautiful weather - you'll see below some of the amazing views we got to see throughout the day. AMAZING!!

I will just post some pictures - not an awful lot of explanation is necessary, although I may add in some tidbits here and there. As it turns out, there are quite a few pictures, so I hope it doesn't take forever to load the page. Sorry. But there are so many good ones!!

This is on the way there:

 

And now the walking tour begins:

 

 A portion of the real Oregon Trail:

 And the covered wagon replica:

 Next we took a break and ate our lunches.
Then we all went inside and watched a film about the Whitmans and their story:

 On to the Museum:

 And now we're finished and about to get back on the bus...

 ...but first, a group picture!

 Now back to the bus...

 And these were taken on the way home.

God gave us such a beautiful day for this field trip.
