These are the boys inside Fort Touluse about 10 miles north of Montgomery in a little town called Wetumpka. This was a French fort built in the early 17th century at a river fork leading into the Alabama River. It was a trading post and the French and Indians ended up co-existing peacefully. We made this into a field trip for the boys on my day off during the week (Friday). They do a big blowout every year taking you back in time as these are just a few pictures of what was spread out over 10 acres and it really felt authetic.
There also happened to be a guy from Ireland and the boys loved his swords of course...
The boys most recent field trip took them on an Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, Georgia. Marcie and the boys went with a homeschooling group from church and I couldn't make it on this one as they went on a Thursday this past week. They said it was awesome and saw all sorts of animals including a Liger...yes a Liger and a Zony (Zebra/Pony), Zonkey (Zebra/Donkey), and fed a lot of animals. Isaac's high was getting licked in the face by a Giraffe. He said Nana would have screamed! Enjoy the pictures (click on picture below and look at Owen on the left)

Look like you got foolayed (Fooled/Played) on those animals. I'm starting to wonder about this whole homeschooling thing. :) Love the pics. Get to skype we're not giving up on you, yet.
I, for one, love the zoom in feature when you click on the pictures because you get to see things you would not otherwise see. Look at Owen's face in the bus picture and Andrew's face in the picture with Marcie. Love it!!
Thanks so much for posting these. You guys are having some great experiences. Makes me want to home school again -- okay, maybe not!;)
Looks like great fun. Wish I could have been there. Thanks for the pixs. It helps a lot. DAD/Papaw
