Exploring a Historic Plantation

We drove to the #kingsleyplantation on the way home for another #juniorranger . This was the kids first plantation and only my second. Although the annoying bugs discouraged full cooperation, they did take home the messages of slavery viewing the huts and historical pictures. C narrating the middle passage slavery ships to his little brother was better than any history book... They also examined cotton bolls to get the seeds and visualized what 60-80 pounds of cotton would have been like to carry. So I might have ruined the lesson by reminding my whiny son of how some people really have a difficult life... maybe I thought the lesson was learned...
