The weather is glorious here in our state, and a local homeschool group to which I belong held their annual Thanksgiving Feast and Fellowship in a county park yesterday. It was a beautiful day!
We prepared for the day by bringing along a side dish, and cutting up vegetables for the group stew pot. Both children got in the act or preparing carrots, onions, and celery to bring and add to the beef stew.
We also brought folding chairs, and pumpkins to decorate. Once we arrived at the park, we happily added our veggies to the stew, which would need to cook for an additional 3 hours. It was a huge pot! Our group rented the pot from the county park. What a neat idea!
The stew pot was monitored and tended to carefully. It smelled terrific!
While we were waiting for the stew to cook, the children played organized games like Capture the Flag, a Three-Legged Race, and a Scavenger Hunt.
In addition, some of us toured the historical buildings on the park property, including a replica of a fort from the Seminole Indian War.
Finally, it was time to dig in to that beautiful Beef Stew. By this time, everybody had worked up a fine appetite. We thanked our Lord for his numerous blessings on our group in 2010, and then formed a very long food line. (after all, besides stew, there were numerous other dishes and desserts to be thankful for!)
We spent just about the entire “school day” on this field trip. It was a wonderful time to build friendships.
