A living/working historical farm, 1 Grandma, 6 Moms, 15 kids...
(I read the rules after we left: no climbing on the fences -oops!)
Judah and a Jersey Cow...
This lady was the greatest- she could keep all those little ones entertained and quiet, never running out of patience, and full of interesting tidbits! Here she is telling the story of making butter...
Judah's turn to churn...
Selah's turn...
Even Isaiah churned that milk into butter...
Washing clothes, the 'old-fashioned' way...
Operating the pump handle...fascinating for little hands...
Scrubbing the laundry on the scrub board...
Rinsing in cold water...
...and hanging it out to dry...
And this lady, amidst the clatter/chatter surrounding her, kept up her kind, patient talking about how they used to do laundry on the farm...
Working the ground, Farmer Isaiah...
Those flowers sure need lots of water...
Don't forget the beans!
Riding on a buggy...
Turning the crank on an old-time car...
Isaiah at the wheel-- look out!
