Lake Dardanelle State Park field trip

Luckily the rain stayed away for Canyon's field trip. And most of it was indoors. At the visitors center, the kids learned about what it was like to be a kid before the lake was developed along the Arkansas River. The kids here played games like Graces, if they were well to do and travelers always had extra rice and grain sacks for sack races and three legged races.


Outside we had a group picture taken by the same fireplace we used to take our Christmas pictures this year. We lucked out being placed in the small group. The other 4 groups had 30 kids in them.

After lunch and a play at the park, we walked back to the visitors center for more learning about boats of the early settlers. Canyon and a buddy were arm in arm the whole way back :)
