In honor of Veteran's Day last Tuesday, we went to a celebration at the courthouse. These kids came out on their day off from school to honor our veterans in song. They did an awesome job.
The turnout was great. They said it was the biggest turnout ever - well over 400 people. You can read more about the celebration
here. We go to church with the guest speaker, Heidi Brown.
Thursday was our field trip to The Wilson Daily Times. We had about 60 home school kids (along with their moms and a few dads) come out to learn all about our local paper. We were guided through all the steps of publishing a newspaper - starting in the newsroom and ending in the delivery pickup. The highlight of the trip was the actual printing press - the kids thought it was loud, but all were impressed with the speed in which it printed. My kids graciously posed in front of the sign for this pic.
In addition to these two field trips - Christian and Wooten had Boys' Club and Anna Gracen and I helped out with Jr. Boys' Club. No organized field trips this week, but we are headed to Apex this afternoon for West Johnston's playoff game (it was postponed from Friday because of the weather). Go Wildcats!!!!
