Strawberry Fields Forever

Here at the Hall Academy for Classical Studies, we like to keep it real...and fresh. Last Friday, we studied sharp-shooting and horticulture. We concluded that guns are fun. You can water trees with them.
Safety first - shoot things, not people. Especially Mom.

Shooting for distance

No tree is safe.

We practiced our lessons over the weekend with the brothers.
Scouting a target

Even in April, shirts don't last long.

Gotcha!

Hey, Everett - check this out!

The tub had to be cleaned after this bath.

Today, we took a field trip to a farm in Cabot. Strawberries are in season, and we checked out the plants before making our big purchase. We met Farmer Odam - a very nice man who invited us back to check out the peaches in about a month. We're planning to return with the brothers to show them firsthand evidence that fruits and vegetables don't grow at Kroger.

Dude, you seem like a nice guy, but I just met you. I'm not eating out of your hand.

I can't find any tomatoes!

Yummy

Keeping the plants well hydrated

Worked up a sweat

Yum-o!

A game of farm animal dominos seemed like a good way to wrap up today's studies.
"Moo" says the cow.

Well done, T-man!
