We recently were able to take a field trip over to Greeneville, Tennessee, which was the home of Andrew Johnson, our 17th president, for many years. There is much to see in this tiny town about our 17th president! I was glad we were able to go! Since we are to the end of our Civil War & Reconstruction studies and moving forward in our american history studies, it was the perfect time to drive over and see this part of our history that is about an hour from where we live! Here are some ... Read More about Field Trip: Andrew Johnson Home {Greeneville, TN}
Bible in 90 Days {week 10}
We are starting our TENTH WEEK of reading the Bible in 90 days! We are well over halfway through now and I know there are many of us needing an extra BOOST of encouragement to get through the last 26 days or so!!

Is Jesus ... Read More about Everything by Mary DeMuth
Awesome Autumn-ness
I wish it was fall all year. :) How is the weather in your neck of the woods?? Do the leaves change colors where you live? Here they are beautiful right now...our drive to the pumpkin patch on Sunday was gorgeous! That means we probably only have a few days left of the beauty before all the leaves fall off. The pumpkin patch is my absolute favorite field trip of the whole year. The past 2 years we have waited for a day when David can go with us and I think I might even enjoy the pumpkin patch ...

Reconstruction Period in US History

But, I did end up finding one great idea that we used. I think it was a great hands-on and visual activity for the kids so I thought I would share! I found this idea here, I wanted to be sure and give credit. :) (This link and others are found on my American History Pinterest ... Read More about Reconstruction Period in US History
