We had such a fun day! One of the kids said it was the best day ever. Our appointment at the museum wasn't until 11:30 so we started out at the park behind the Cameron Park Zoo. The kids played for awhile and then we ate lunch.
Today is Xavier's birthday.
The Mayborn Museum has an outdoor village that shows the kids what it would have been like to live in the 1800's.
This is the Commisary. The kids noted how different it was from Walmart.
This is the one room school house. Girls on one side.
Boys on the other side. No desks, just hard benches and slate boards to write on.
They also got to practice washing clothes by hand
and then wringing out the wet clothes.
They pumped water from a well.
This is the church. It was a warm day so we all noticed the lack of air conditioning.
They also got to churn butter and see how corn was ground. In just a couple of hours, they were exhausted from all the chores.
