Mormon Battalion

Yesterday the CAPO teachers were on strike from the classroom so I took the opportunity to educate my children in a different way.  I took three of them and a friend Emily down to the Mormon Battalion in Old Town, San Deigo.  It has recently been renovated so we were excited to see the changes.  We were amazed at how nice and interactive it is now!   I highly recommend it to ALL!  Here is a little photo journal of our adventure:

After the video presentation and time in the museum the kids were able to pan for gold:

Trevor LOVED panning for gold!  He loves all types of rocks and minerals.

The girls were loving the hand pump water faucet.....

sometimes a little too much!  Trevor and Emily in a water fight :o)!  Luckily we were the only ones there so the Sister Missionaries just laughed!

We became honorable Mormon Battalion members:

Afterwards we walked around Old Town...it was such a beautiful day.  We ran across some tshirts that were pretty funny:
