Field Trip to the Silk Factory

Every Wednesday the homeschool kids go on a field trip. This week they went to the silk factory. Sawyer and I got to go along. He loves being with the kids I think he thinks he's there size. :-)Panda, Sawyer, Chang and Mollie
Panda Sawyer and Change, they are his buddies.
Walking around the silk shop like a big boy. :-)
Chang and Sawyer are buddies. Chang is one of the smallest boys and he and Sawyer were walking around hand in hand. I think Sawyer likes Change because he is close to his size and it's not quite so overwhelming.

Showing the kids how they get the silk. They boil down the sacks from the worms.
and pull the string out
then they wrap it around this spinning loom
Sawyer liked the worms the best....what a boy!
