6th Grade Trip

Seth is away this week, in Xi'an. He's the first in our family to get to see the amazing terra cotta warriors that Xi'an is famous for. Sixth grade is studying ancient Chinese history this year, so it's a perfect trip to go along with the topic. In addition to the warriors, the students are climbing a pagoda, eating lots of Chinese food, going to a Chinese music show, visiting a panda saving center, touring a Taoist temple, doing a "treasure hunt" in the Shaanxi History museum, learning some martial arts, going shopping on "Muslim Street", near the Great Mosque, and doing Taiji on the ancient city wall.

There's also time for some swimming and bowling in there somewhere. :-)

Scott still remembers songs and events from the sixth grade camp he attended. Praying for Seth this week to make some wonderful memories!
