We had a blast at Rocky Woods!  The students took turns preparing the food, tending the fire, and fishing. They shot arrows with their bows during archery.  For lunch, we ate delicious beef stew, chicken, applesauce and pumpkin bread.  The cornbread was made in a Dutch oven with hot coals. Many children enjoyed a dough boy for dessert.  Steal the bacon was a game we played before going on a hike through the woods.  It's fun to be a Pilgrim.



Thank you to the parents for helping on this special day.
