My First Homeschool Field Trip

Here we are in front of the sign of the Midlothian Coal Mines. This is by

far my favorite field trip ever for homeschooling. We learned 

a lot of things like that they used mules in the mines. They keep the mules down in the mines for their whole life so the mules went blind, but they took very good care of the mules, they were fed properly, they got good medical care too. 

Here are some pictures of the mines but we didn't go in them:
