Up here by Cornell U., there are a million things to do!







This is "Judys' Day". They pick a theme, and the whole day is devoted to learning about it. This years theme was grass. Rice is a grass, and this is son #2 husking rice. I'm told he spent nearly the whole day doing that little panful. (I had to work.)

They also made grits, out of corn, which apparently is also a grass, who knew?! And for some unknown reason, they made chocolate "grass masks" (African) That would be son #1 in the first pic.

My favorite Judys' day was a few years ago, they took us back 100 years ago. Every one was encouraged to dress in period dress, and they had a schoolhouse, and a bunch of amazing things to do and see!

It's always good to make learning fun, for both kids and kids at heart!

Again, Thanks for Noticing me!
