Our first field trip of the year was to Old Sturbridge Village. The kids were very excited to go because it was their homeschooling day and therefore, had tons planned for the kids. We started off with soem funny photos and then went to make our 'soldier's bag'. This was a scavenger hunt where we had to find the pieces that would be in a soldier's bag before leaving for the war. The kids had to fugure out which piece came from which place. They had a blast doing it!!! We also rode a stagecoach and pumped water for the horses. We carded wool and watched a woman spin it into thread. The kids even got to make their own candles! All in all, we spent 6 hours touring and exploring. I loved watching their faces as they discovered something new or made a connection to something we have learned about:) Afetr a quick stop at the gift shop where we got marbles, a table bowling game and some revolutionary war figures, we headed home. It wasn't long before the car was quiet and all three were sleeping all the way home!

I have been there many times. I grew up in Webster. I would go back there. My favorite parts are the garden and the gift shop.
