Walden Pumpkin Farm


Thanks to Emily who watched Elizabeth again, I was able to go with Philip on his first School Field Trip! We headed via bus to Walden's Pumpkin Farm. It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun to hang out with my favorite Kindergartener and his new friends.

The Hermitage

This morning, I went with Jackson on his first field trip of the year. We traveled via bus to the Hermitage.  I have always loved historical homes and I was excited to share the story of the Hermitage with Jackson.

On the bus - here we go!
We enjoyed touring the home and hearing about Andrew Jackson, but since there were so many of us we didn't get to explore around the grounds as much as I would have liked. I guess that means a trip back to the Hermitage is in our future!

This was my crew for the morning

Bradon was happy to show off his map
The other two wanted to see the airplane flying overhead!
So much fun with my 2nd grader!

Frist Center

The boys were out of school today but Elizabeth's school was open. We dropped her off at 9:00 and set out to explore Nashville. I wanted to show the boys downtown & the Frist Center. 

Over the summer, Jackson had taken the City Bus on a field trip and really enjoyed it. Since Philip and I had not had that experience, we decided to leave our car at Elizabeth's school and hop on the bus heading downtown. 



We arrived at the Frist, bought my ticket (Kids are free!) and headed to the amazing, hands-on, kids area. We painted, made sculptures, and the boys even directed their own movie.We spent two hours exploring and creating in this amazing space! 






After watching their movies, we enjoyed lunch at the Frist cafe and headed back to pick up Elizabeth. It was such a fun outing!
