Field Trip!

Our love of Mark Twain began a few years back, when Tyler had to do a report along with presentation, of someone in history. He began reading some great books by Mark Twain, and once the presentation part of his project rolled around, the whole family got involved. We scoured the thrift stores for a costume. White ladies carpis pants and an old white linen jacket right out of the 80's, complete with shoulder pads, worked perfectly. Now, for a wig. Batting would work, and cotton balls for a mustache! We topped off the costume with a brown paper rolled stogie. Very cute. We have been anxious about the Hannibal field trip all year, and last week, the day finally arrived. We had a wonderful time. We went with the class and wandered the streets of Hannibal before enjoying a picnic lunch in the park. We finished the afternoon with the Mark Twain cave exploration. Tyler and I are already planning another day trip this summer!
