4th Grade Field Trip!

Parker's class visited historic Pamplin Park near Petersburg, VA today to learn about the Civil War and walk on the actual battlefield! Lots of battles were fought in Virginia; many of them in Petersburg, Richmond, and Chesterfield County.
Parker and Kyle on their lunch break!
Parker before he was enlisted as a soldier in the Confederate Army.
Parker as a new recruit in the Confederate Army, learning how to handle a rifle.
Parker's teacher, Ms. Evaro, demonstrating the public humiliation used on soldiers during war time. Her sign reads "thief." We aren't sure what she stole.
"Can you believe this?? Our TEACHER is getting in TROUBLE!"

Looks like fun! We're having a snow storm today. Looks like nice weather there. That's cool you got to go with him.

What a fun field trip! They used to take us to the grocery store to watch the bakery make cookies or something lame. This sounds much better.
