First field trip!

It was homeschool day at the Frontier Culture Museum, so we were able to enjoy a fun filled (and HOT) afternoon of learning and exploration. First, we explored the West African village.
Then we made our way to the English farm.  The kids were able to stoke the fire, grate cheese, and stir dough to make fritters, while learning about life on a yeoman's farm. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures.
  At the Irish farm, we had a chance to grind oats.
The kids also tried making flax for linen, but it was very crowded at the German farm and we were all hot and tired.  Overall, it was a fun afternoon and I'm sure we will return again soon!
