The Old Historical Farm



Reid's class went on a field trip to a local Historical Farm. The family settled here in 1844! We saw their log cabin that the started out in. They lived there with their 6 children! We definately can't complain about how little space we have now. It was fun to hear the children come up with all the things they did not have in that log cabin. I am sure it is beyond their full understanding that people actually lived without the modern conveniences we have today! We then were able to see the farm house that the family built on the same property later. We learned about many other differences even though the house looked more like a house we live in now. The kids even were able to help roll out gingerbread dough for some cookies. I think the highlight of the trip was propably eating the finished product.
