California History

We spent some time in November discovering CA history...

We went to the Cube Museum in Santa Ana (mostly because Hunter need to take kids to a science museum for extra credit in one of his classes) but we connected the Earthquake sections to our CA history unit.  We had a great time and I realized I went there all the time when the boys were little but the girls had very little memory of it! It was a beautiful day and a fun last minute field trip!

 

After reading some books about CA missions and doing some mission inspired art, we decided it was time to San Juan Capistrano Mission.  It is beautiful there and we had an amazing Mexican dinner afterwards.

We finished up our CA history unit by attending Knott's Berry Farm CA History Field Trip day with friends.  We learned a lot and got to spend the remainder of the day exploring the park.

This sweet lady who taught us how the early California pioneers made clothing was named Felicity.  So our Felicity and friends had to get a picture with her!
