The past week has been one for field trips. The kids went on a trip with Gramma to Barkerville. They got to spend the night in Quesnel and then spend the following day at Barkerville enjoying all the activities and sights that were offered. They all enjoyed the singing show toward the end of the day and their stagecoach ride as well.
Early this week the kids went on a day trip to Hat Creek Ranch with a group of homeschoolers. They got to explore the old settlement as well as the Aboriginal Center. They learned about traditional native foods, homes and clothing.
They also got to enjoy a stagecoach ride and make arrowhead necklaces.
Finally, the kids spent several hours exploring the Williams Lake River Valley salmon spawning with the Nature Explorer homeschool group. They hiked the trails, played games and learned about salmon from a local tour guide. It's been fun to see them re-enact the life of a salmon.
what fun! we've never done a theatre show at Barkerville, I think we need to work that into the plans and budget next year!
