Vaguely remember the recorders....didn't remember where we were though. I also remember learning about the flat iron building and remaining eternally confused about how that building looked like an iron. But I didn't remember that being the same day. Oh and I don't remember the name.

I think it was called Discovery Day because later I got confused when we made a trip to Discovery Place. We met at the auditorium and sang songs with"How-weird" (he's the minister at Jubilee and also a children's song writer/singer). Then we played games around the buildings that at the time were just historical but have since been renovated and now have businesses in them. I remember that day in particular because I had the biggest crush on Scott Reed and we held hands a lot walking around the town. I have a picture of him wearing the blue shirt they made us all wear.

That's awesome - I'm so glad someone else remembers stuff like I do.

I'm scrapbooking 4th grade, so I wanted to title those pics correctly. :)
