FIELD TRIPS & ACTIVITIES

We've been to a lot of cool places and done some exciting things.  In addition to all these below, we also had field trips to the library, the amphitheater at the Davidson River, the Hands On Children's Museum, Mud Dabbers Pottery, Ed & Lillian Updike's farm, Food Lion tour, and the State Fish Hatchery. At Christmas, we visited patients the hospital and the Koala Adult Day Care Center to sing carols and gift them with beeswax candles we rolled.  We also volunteered at Bread of Life soupkitchen.
