A day of Museums!!

Last Sunday (Feb. 9th) was Super Museum Sunday. This is when all the museums are open for FREE!! We headed out early along with our neighbors to visit two museums. Our first stop was Fort Pulaski http://www.nps.gov/fopu/. The weather was perfect!
Heading into the fort.


Knock knock....anyone home?? (There was no answer.)








They thought it was really cool we were INSIDE the hills in this part!



Back out on the other side.

Papa going back down through the "hill"

Crossing the drawbridge going into the fort.

Really neat brick work!

Mama and Ian.

Kristen was reading this sign about how the drawbridge was let down and pulled closed to the younger boys.

Heading up the steps to the upper level.

I love this picture.....

A lighthouse in the distance.

Randy and Gavin, one of the neighbor boys.

Our next stop was at the Mighty 8th Airforce Museum http://www.mightyeighth.org/about_us/index.htm.

Randy and Aaron outside by one of the planes before going in.

They had face painting and Mighty 8th tattoos for the kids inside.

This is one of the murals on one of the walls. They are really neat!! I was trying hard to get a picture without any people but as you can see, just as I snapped it, a boy walked up.....

Various planes hanging from the ceiling.

Momo standing in front of another painted display wall.

Back outside as we were leaving. Ian didn't want to be in the picture. I think he had had enough for the day by this point.


It was a fun day out!!

Another project in woodworking and other coop pics.

Morgan was in a PE class at the same time as our woodworking class so I snapped a couple pictures of them playing Red Rover.




The boys in the woodworking class finished up their second projects a couple weeks ago( yes, I am just now posting pics). They made little table bookcases this time. Here they are putting the stain/varnish on.






Some of the cases drying in the sun.


The boys hanging out waiting for the next class to start. The matching tee shirts are the yearbook class shirts.



They are just so cool!!


Aaron as usual...doing some kind of stunt!! Here he is jumping over Tyler's head!!

Ian and Cade heading to lunch together.


The cool kids again during lunch. A couple of the boys (Aaron included) like to bring their guitars to play together at lunch break.



Here are the kids in my science experiments class. We made butter this day. They were just beginning to shake......

and more shaking....they decided doing jumping jacks would make the shaking go faster....

It was a really nice day so we took our shaking outside. Here is Kristen showing off her butter!!

We found some crackers in the kitchen and enjoyed the fruits.....errr...butter of our shaking labor!! YUMMY!!
Here are Tyler and Micah enjoying theirs.


We finished up coop for the winter term and are now on break until March when we will start the last term for this year!!
