American Revolution Field Trip
WHAT THE KIDS ARE SAYING

"... I thank you for the great time.  You have a wonderful farm.  You really outdid yourself.  It was really fun with the gardening, learning politeness, learning tools from the handheld machines, learning what to do and what to say during the war, making biscuits, watching metal soldiers being molded...My favorite part was when we did the American Revolutionary war.."    Katie, Age 11, Corona, CA

"I would like to thank you for giving us the best field trip of the year.   It was really amazing to go back in time and for learning about our history.."  Abigail, Age 11, Corona, CA

 “I liked the battlefield shooting.  It was so realistic!  I have thought about what you guys said and it really touches me, and I’ll salute you for that.  And you ARE right;  you can buy candy and toys, but you cannot buy freedom.  This was one of the best fieldtrips I had.  Thank you.   Let freedom ring…”   Sarita, Age 11
