On November 8, our co-op had a field trip to the Pioneer Living History Museum in North Phoenix. Our group gathered at about 10 o'clock in the morning and the first thing the kids wanted to do was pan for gold. So, we headed there first! The kids loved it, and most came away just a little bit richer! We then checked out the mining camp, blacksmith shop, cabins, school house, jail and bank. Then it was time to go and watch a reenactment of a Wild West shoot out. What a show--and thankfully the actors used blanks so nobody was hurt. The kids did get a lesson in gun safety however. After the show it was time for lunch and a bit more exploring before heading home!
