Savannah had a field trip today to Tannehill iron works state part. It has long been on my list of things to do here in AL. It's the location of an old iron furnace. They have brought in old buildings (schools etc) to give a sense of the civil war period. She loved it.
Here she is trying to move a huge wheel in the museum.
Listening to a boy play the violin and talk about what XMAS was like during the civil war. He had them play some old fashioned games, and they sang songs.
And here she is in the storytelling room. The girl leading the story a
sked what the kids eat for Christmas every year. Savannah raised her hand and said "lobster". Everyone started laughing, and after we left she said she did not understand why people laughed. I had to explain that eating lobster on XMAS is it a tradition in the south! It's our tradition , though!!And here we are...listening to a soldier talk about his life. She was fascinated by that.
So, it was a good day :-)
