Entermissions/Co-Op

We got to chance to visit with some sweet friends while they were in town for our church's missions conference.  We also spent the afternoon decorating with our co-op friends for the conference.

NBC-17 News Station Field Trip

We visited the NBC-17 News Station with our co-op. The tour was well done and they learned a lot about what it takes to produce the morning news. 

Learning about the green screen

How many anchors does it take ...

Hope is right at home in front of a camera

In the production room, the kids learned about all the different computers,
buttons, satelite links, etc that it takes to make the morning news happen.

Co-op Field Trip

Our local, friendly neighborhood Suntrust Bank gave us the grand tour of their branch.  They did a great job and we all learned so much.

How do you know if it is real or a counterfeit?

Lots of good questions

Airport Field Trip

The kids got to tour a small, rural airport in Lousiburg. 

I am thankful that the other moms who watched the kiddos for me
and took such good care of them while we closed on our new house.

Co-Op Field Trip

We visited the NC State Capitol Building for our co-op field trip this month.  It was a very cold day and we were thankful to be inside.

NC Museum of Art

We took the kids to explore Art in the Park at the NC Art Museum.

This is one free field trip we would gladly do every year.

The outside exhibits are all along many trails and pathways.
