Mission Project

During of month of April daddy and Johnathan worked on a massive multiple day project. He had a miniature mission project to build. It had to be 10x10" project that included 10 features. He had koi in the fountain, a fountain, a almost perfectly to scale model of the old church and courtyard, archways, bells, etc. We used the packing from our t.v. to make the archways for the old church and lots and lots of clay. He had to put one layer of clay each night for a week to get the desired texture. It also included real dirt from Ontario that was grounded up and glued in place. We were all proud of the final product.

The highlight of the project was visiting San Juan Capistrano mission during spring break. He was asking a lot of questions of his tour guide and was enthralled by the experience of being there. He brought back a lot of good pictures of his trip. I personally think the best part was him learning to calculate things to scale and working nice with his dad.
