Ashley's walking field trip

I volunteered to go on Ashley's 4th grade walking field trip to the Gale History museum. It turned out to be much cooler than I had expected.

It had all sorts of replicas and hands-on things for the kids to do. There were cute old-timer South Jordan residents there to tell you about the town's history. I learned that this area was once called Gale because it was mercilessly windy when people first settled here (Thus the name Gale Center. I thought it was somebody's last name.) Ashley's teacher, Miss Bailey's ancestors were the first settlers in the Gale area.



On the way home the kids motioned for every passing car to honk. They counted up at least fifty cars who responded, so they thought the walk was great.
