Gregory and Brian got to go to Fort Tejon today and tomorrow. Its and overnight class feild trip. The kids get to “re live history” They are going back to the 1800’s and will experience life in the army. The students get to take on characters from the past and become aware of how life was back then.
“School children are introduced to Fort Tejon as “new recruits” in the U.S. Army. They will work together as Army recruits from the mid-nineteenth century. One lesson that they will learn, is that they must work together in order to succeed, just as pioneer peoples did in order to survive. In both environments, they can and will be forced to solve many problems. The emphasis of the program is on self-learning and working together as a team.”

I miss them already! Brian is the photographer, so I’m sure he’ll come back with tons of pictures. This is just one he sent from his phone, right after they ate lunch! It’s very cold there and they even got hail.

He just called me and said the kids were having a lot of fun. It’s pretty chilly but they are all doing really well and having a good time and learning what it was like to be in the 1800’s. Night watch tonight!
