I took the kids to McLean where we jumped back in time to the year 1771. The kids got to try living this life hands-on, and I think they liked it. There is something very soothing about the simplicity of life back then. Laundry = one set of clothes per person per week
Kids games = rolling a wooden hoop with a stick, playing "9 pin" and swinging on a rope
and swinging on the rope, and swinging and swinging - I think they would have stayed there all day! I think we need to get a rope at our house!
Here Clark and John are "carding" wool, where you pull it apart to make the fibers soft and separated, so that you can then change it into string. We had a great day, which ended with us being stuck in a huge rain storm. Those are what make memories, right?
