field trip day to Wanuskewin! Awesome!!!

so when a day is going the way it is, what more should happen??? did you guess right??? a flat tire! sweet. my husband is absolutely ill with food poisoning, so I have to call my bro & mom to come and rescue us because we are on an extremely busy highway section, definitely not walking with the kids. So mom came and ran us to school to catch the bus for our field trip. When we returned to school the truck was there waiting for us. So that was awesome. I think Joe (jim's brother) and cousin came to fix the truck. haven't heard the whole story yet, but a big thank you to all the parties who helped us today!!!!!

what a gorgeous day for a field trip!!!!! Wanuskewin had so many events going on it was a blast! This is what greats you!

This was the what the inside of the hole that the archeaologists were digging. These are actual bones they are finding, not ones just placed there. These are students working on this site dig from the U of S. They gave us a brief talk about what they were finding, the buffalo jump that used to be here, and bones that they've traced to 5500 years ago. Cool hey?

riley and a caterpillar on him. The kids just love caterpillars!

I kind of cropped this guy so you can't see any of the kids faces (as I don't know them or have permission to show them either) He was an amazing dancer. On the last dance he pulled kids from the crowd to dance the round dance with him. He chose Riley and he loved it. Riley was trying to sing like him all the way home!

This is a really neat cultural place to take your kids. we had fun at it. If you are interested in seeing pow wows at all they are having some big performances coming up. I've always thought they were great!
