About Me
My name is Tami and I live in central Illinois with my husband, Larry and three children, Caleb (8), Camden (7) and Emma (4). I hope you'll enjoy reading about my life as a wife/mother and about our family's adventures. What I’m Reading
Eyestone Schoolhouse
For the Caleb and Camden’s first preschool field trip this year, they went to the Eyestone Schoolhouse. It is a one room schoolhouse from the early 1900′s in our town.
The kids had a great time learning how school was a century ago. They learned about the different bells the teacher used, to bring the kids in from recess and to start school, and how the school was heated by a wood burning stove. The kids also got to write on the blackboards.
When we first arrived, the kids all got pick a seat to sit in and see how the school children learned.
The weather was rainy the day of Camden’s field trip, so the teacher read a Little House on the Prairie book. Camden was leaning on her lap for the entire story time.
The weather had cleared up for Caleb’s class and they got to enjoy a birthday party outside.
This was an especially fun field trip for me. I remember taking this same field trip when I was in grade school and it was a favorite of mine.
