For Kenny's 5th grade field trip the class traveled 5 hours to Montevallo, AL to visit the American Village! Here Kenny is posing with a few of his friends in the church house that was also used as an assembly hall for the town.
Outside the bus on our first rest stop on the way to Montevallo, AL.
Having some fun at the rest stop on the way to the American Village!
Here the boys were asked to join the group that was heading out to fight for their freedom! The boys learned how to load and shoot a musket. How to stand in a fighting line and use their numbers to push back the opposing forces. It was fun to see how serious the boys took this "charge"!
Their commander ketp the boy's attention by filling them in on all the details of the "fight" that led ahead of them.
Here they listened and asked questions of a law man who was hoping to gain their support in helping the colonies break away from English rule! Kenny was given a question to ask and the group giggled when he read his assigned part! He was asked to say that he was married to a beautiful woman who was living with him in the colonies but was a member of the Church of England who they were all preparing to break away from. His concern was whether or not he would be able to "keep" his wife! Poor Kenny! He'll NEVER talk to girls now!!!!
