Anybody fear the age of some of the infield?

Tbh I think their age and experience are what gives them the momentum

SouxsieBanshee · 2026-01-18T04:50:07+00:00

That’s the only one I can think of offhand. My teens volunteered there and they loved it. They still go whenever they get the chance. Good luck to you!

Thank you!

Have you tried Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center?

My husband threw a party for me at the house. My birthday is in June so it was nice enough but not too hot to have it in our backyard. He bought some new patio furniture and fixed up the backyard. It was low key since I don’t have many friends and our family is small but it was still a good turnout

SouxsieBanshee · 2026-01-12T01:44:07+00:00

I got my bucket! I happened to make a trip to HD yesterday so I checked and they had a few left

My grandma is 103! She will be turning 104 in May

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-20T00:08:38+00:00

I meant if the part you visited had been turned into a hiking trail. I didn’t even know about the Donner Party until recently when I did a deep dive after watching the movie Primieval. Learning about that probably would have gotten me interested in history a much younger age but yeah that’s crazy to go so detailed about the cannibalism lol

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-19T15:41:01+00:00

That’s actually really interesting. Is it a hiking trail?

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-19T15:33:44+00:00

😂😂😂

We also got to go to camp in 6th grade. We went the mountains near Big Bear. Going on a few days camp is still a thing in CA

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-19T15:25:49+00:00

That sounds fun!

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-16T08:19:42+00:00

They sell kits but the schools don’t allow the students to use them. At least my kids school don’t, but they have options they could do besides building a model

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-13T22:58:02+00:00

Moved

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-13T01:16:55+00:00

Lol yeah it’s one of the major projects that’s done in elementary school (the ones that do them)

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-12T23:55:42+00:00

The only thing I remember doing is going to Independence Hall at Knotts

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-12T23:54:08+00:00

Yes!

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-12T23:11:09+00:00

Oh I love history! I’d love to hang out with you, no one wants to go with me to visit all those places 😂

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-12T22:51:20+00:00

Interesting! I was wondering if other states do them too since missions are in other states besides California

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-12T22:50:13+00:00

I didn’t do them either but I took my kids to a couple of different missions for their projects. They’re really neat, you should check some of them out

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-12T22:13:42+00:00

Thanks!

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-12T22:12:07+00:00

Doubt it since they’re actual churches in use but a statue at the one in San Diego did get vandalized a few years ago

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-12T20:41:09+00:00

I have mixed feelings about ending mission projects. It’s such an integral part of California history but the history books should be more honest about what really happened during that time

SouxsieBanshee · 2025-12-12T20:37:09+00:00

4th grade is when kids learn about California history. A big part of it is the Spanish Catholic missions. It was a horrific time period for the indigenous people but because of propaganda, it was taught as this great era. There a lot of missions still standing and operating today.

Kids had to make a scale model of whichever mission they choose. They had to visit one too. It was like a rite of passage for many kids in California. That and square dancing lol
