Native American Day

Our elementary school here rocks! Seriously, we are only a few months into the school year and they have already had so many neat things for the kids. The week before Thanksgiving they had a native american day for all the kindergartners. It was so much fun, for the kid and adults alike. The kiddos all got dressed up in items they had made in class. They then went to the auditorium and had a bunch of different stations with activities set up for them. Makenna probably told me 10 times "This is Awesome Mom!"
Makenna and her little friends. Girls are so funny and social, at such a young age!
Makenna and Kara! Such good friends! I heard someone ask them the other day at school "Are you guys sisters?" They both laughed and said No! Then the little girl said, "Well, why are you always together and always playing with each other?" So cute!
Planting corn the way the native americans did, by putting some pieces of dead fish in the soil with it. That stinky thing only lasted at home about a week, and I think I was a saint for keeping it around that long :)
Dancing around the pretend fire they helped build
A very fun day to be a mommy!

Catching a fish from the river and hanging it up to dry
About to be lead on a buffalo hunt. The kids took this very seriously and it was a very intense atmosphere. They would be some really good hunters!
Getting ready to sneak up on the buffalo...
Posing with their "kill". They then got to go in and eat some buffalo dogs, which many of the kids were confusing as hot dogs :)
