Field Trips!!!!!!! During Spring Break


On Saturday we went to Camp fire cooking at Stephen Foster and had a BLAST!!!!! We heard some great folk music including a song titled "Do they still gather in White Springs"? It was beautiful. We heard a great story about Brer Rabbit and the Bull Aligator and it was just as funny as it was when I was a kid! We tried spider dogs, bodacious beans, sun tea and pineapple ring pancakes and it was all wonderful!! We had such fun with those ladies!!!







I learned how to save cast iron!!!!


SPIDER DOGS!!!!!



Even Damian joined the fun!




Look at my shy girl! SHE WAS SINGING!!!!!! In front of a group of strangers!!!!!!!!! I was amazed



When did Fox become my biggest kid????


Pineapple ring pancakes topped off the night! We will for sure be making these at home.
