Philip Foster Farm

The wagon ride was a thrill!







Grinding corn to make corn meal.

A "Real live" wagon. There was a "Real live" hornet nest in the back.
I think these two are as excited as I am to do laundry.



Can you tell these guys are related?


Giant Lincoln Logs. I wish I'd had these growing up.
This is one tired Grandma.
Sleeping accommodations in a pioneer cabin.

Do not try this at home, ever. We didn't have a choice. All the activities had to take place on this day. Let's just say Elisha and I anticipated this was going to be a very long day.

Brandon and Ryan left to go fishing for several days. Brandon had scarcely been here for 12 hours. At a little after 5AM, all the children said goodbye to their dads. Many tears were shed. No one went back to sleep. Then Grandpa and Grandma arrive.

Later that morning the Hollenbecks arrived for a visit. We had to run out of the house, hugging friends along the way. Sorry Sue! This to go to Philip Foster Farm, a pioneer settlement that has reenactments. All the kids were very excited to go to this. Tom, Michelle, Kyla and Brad joined us.

Then it was time to go. It was a fun day, but a long one. Extreme high, low, high, low, high, etc... I was very happy to sleep that night!

Fun day! With not fun moments interspersed, I understand. Love the hilarious commentary on the pics.
