Native American Festival

Today was the day that Danny and all 4th graders had been waiting on, the field trip to Moundville for the Native American Festival.  They have been learning about Native Americans, and just completed their projects and took their test and now it is time to celebrate and have fun with a field trip.

Brandon was off so he came on the field trip too, I definitely think that Danny was more excited about that than me, but I love going and spending time with my sweet boy. 

We all had a great time in Moundville.  The students at Alabama were actually doing a real archiological dig and the boys though that the archiologst was amazing.  They even had him autograph there cups.  We watched him get some things out, like pottery and part of a house, it was really awesome.  We learned more about the food that they ate, the tools and weapons that they used, the clothes that they wore, and how they lived. 

We ate lunch by the river and the view was seriously stunning.  I am thinking it is definitely the perfect spot for lunch, probably any day.

We left the school at 8:15 and got back at about 4:15.  It was an exhausting day but so much fun.  I went in to help at ASC and after a little while Debbie sent me home.  I tried to tell her  I was not going hom and was fine, but she insisted so we headed out.

Brandon, me, the boys plus one, Chandler is spending the night tonight.  We were going to the Mountain Brook vs. Trussville game to watch the Trussville band more than anything.  Anyway, we went to Dairy Queen and got an ice cream and just relaxed and then we went to the game that was anything but relaxing.

One of the Trussville players grandfather had a massive heart attack and dropped dead right there.  It was heartbreaking.  I do not know that I have ever cried that much for a stranger.  The fact that we had to explain it to the boys later was not much fun either.  They had the best time at the game though and they were so good!  I am so gald that we decided to go on an go.  It was great, I hate that Trussville lost though.




We came home and not too long into the night we were in bed, well except Danny and Chandler they were determined not to go to bed.
