Tom is on vacation this week so we decided to take a quick trip to
Johnstown, PA. To the kids just staying in a hotel is a treat. All the TV you can watch........yea. The 2 of them sharing the same bed always makes for some "fun". Tom (who is not used to being around the kids 24/7) said several times over these 2 days, "I don't know how you do it"!
Our first stop was the
Johnstown Flood Museum.
It was very
interesting. The tour guide explained exactly what happened during the flood and then upstairs there is an academy award winning film all about it. We learned
alot (the best part is that the kids don't even realize they are learning!)
The royal
heinies on their royal thrones!
From there we went to the heritage discovery center. It taught all about the immigrants who came to
Johnstown.
Then they all tried their hand at sorting coal.......
We drove up to the "dry lake" where the dam once stood. You could actually see where it once was. It was a nice trip. Isn't homeschooling great?

Did you know that there was a MIghty Mouse cartoon made years ago about the Johnstown flood, and it was MM who saved the town from destruction?
