Thane's third grade class did a walking tour of Columbus. It was pretty interesting to learn a little bit more about the city I live in historically. There was so much I didn't know. And for those of you who know me, that was a hard sentence to type! lol Because, I know everything. lol
We started out at City Hall and had a tour of the Mayor's office. It was neat to hear him answer all of the kids questions. He had so many really cool things in his office. This Columbus City flag actually flew in Baghdad. WOW
We the did a tour of the Kids Commons & Museum. We had an hour of fun there. First we did experiments in archetecture. And a girl stood on a bed of eggs! Only one cracked. It was cool. Thane loved it!
We then went to First Christian church for lunch and then onto the Visitor Center for the City tour. OMG! if you have not done this- you should. It was incredible information! We visited lots of local buildings and banks and The Cummins Corporate Building where we learned about Cummins. We went to the Library and Irwin Gardens and ended the tour at the Courthouse. 
At the courhouse we attended a mock court session where we had to decide based on the law who got posession of a Wii game that was jointly purchased by 2 students who were not following their sharing agreement. It was good for the kids to see and hillarious to watch. Check out my man sitting in the Judge's seat! LOl Looks like his 'name plate' name will come in handy after all. =]
