Dallas Heritage Village- Jared's Field Trip

The 2nd grade field trip this year was at the Dallas Heritage Village at Old City Park. We had never been there before and it was a real neat place to visit. They collect, preserve and teach the history of Dallas and North Central Texas representing the time period 1840-1910. With the use of historic buildings and furnishings they made it appear the same way it did back then.

The kids had such a fun time and I have to admit that the adults did as well. There were so many chaperone's that we were in real small groups and got a chance to really relax and enjoy the day. The kids had a picnic lunch as well and just had fun being kids.

"The Saloon"
Like father.... Like son....
It looks like Jared is going to host a poker game. :)

And, let me introduce you to the saloon's "Bouncer"

One of the houses "The boys"- both groups combined...

We had to combine our groups so that Stacy (Luke's mom), Jenn (Brady's mom) and Jared & I would be able to run around together. :)

Awh... How cute!

"his teacher"

YES~ this is an outhouse.... Once we talked about it and explained to the boys what it was then they had to jump in and act like typical 8 yr old boys.

Luke is behind Jared in this one and one of their other little friends is laughing but can't wait until he can jump in next. :)

Neat Picture... out in the fields

The kids enjoyed watching him make the pottery.
It appears by the look on Jared's face he was extremely interested.
