Seeing new things

On Fridays we normally have "Adventure Friday's!" Work wise we normally have some test, but nothing heavy. Some Fridays we have planned field trips with our homeschooling group, others we do on our own. This last Friday we had a homeschooling field trip. We were heading to Tuscumbia Al. A good 1 1/2 hours away. We were headed toward Helen Keller's birth house.

To get ready Robby and I did research on Helen Keller and then I got the movie, the Miracle Worker.

As we got into the car that morning the two little kids didn't know where we were going- but Robby told them to close eyes and put their hands over their ears. "The place we are going to was were a little girl lived who couldn't see or hear."

While there we saw the house were she grew up, the cottage next door where she was born and was taught many of her lessons. The kids got to see the well pump were she felt and spelled water. They thought that was cool. We got to see the kitchen, and the were the cooked lived. It was all out side. The grounds were beautifully kept. It was a nice visit. We ended it with a picnic lunch at a near by park.
