The view of the house from the road you walk on to get there. This house was much bigger then we were expecting since it was built in 1850.Mini reading on the grass growing. She had found a stick and felt the need to carry it with us all day. It was special though just ask her!
This is the kids helping do laundry, I am so glad I am not doing 12-14 loads of laundryt his way. Me and my washer and dryer will stay here thank you very much!This is in the root celler under the house. Barrels so you know you must can the young ones right away!
There were 3 calves walking around and were tame enough to allow you to walk up and pet them. The kids loved that they could pet them and Mini got licked.
a view of the garden People were out weeding. But they could have weeded for a week straight and not got all the weeds.
The kids enjoyed the water pump. They got to fill buckets of water.Dennis and Matthew picking potatoe bugs. YUCK is all I can say! Notice the plants have not leaves. Dennis and the kids were all into this. I having seens them before not so much so!
Picking more bugs
But hey then Stephen got to go feed them all to the chickens! He loved that!
We played games from the 1850's also while at the farm. We passed the boot and tried hiding it behind us. Then they guessed who had it.
The bottom half of the barn where the horses and oxen are kept when not outside3. they had a farm cat in here too.The top half of the barn was a hay barn and it also had an area for corn.
The equipment they had in 1850 for the fields.
I called this the stuff and things bench but it was tools of all kinds and it was neat to check it all out.
Matthew found a chicken out and he chased it thinking he could catch it but no such luck for the small boy!the hayfield with the hay down already. They were stacking this into the top half of the barn
A close up of the house in the back. that back porch is soo nice! I loved it all!On the walk back out Mini got a ride! A lot of walking and running and she was happy to sit on the way out.
