Think Back Thursday: Historical Sites

-

The theme for the May 31st Think Back Thursday was Historical Sites.  When trying to decide what to post, I found some pictures of the day we went to the pioneer farm with several families from church.  Boobear would have been just a month past her 15th birthday, while Supergirl and Turtlegirl were a month from their 13th birthdays.  Tailorbear would have been 11.

The girls tried out the desks in the one room school house while Honeybear and another dad checked out a map of the Territories.

There were inside chores to experience such as kneading dough and grinding coffee.  Tailorbear even tried on some of the clothes for a more authentic look.

There were animal chores as well.  Here Tailorbear shows off the chicken she caught!

Though this was only 2 years ago, I am amazed at how much the girls have grown and changed.  I think time really does move faster and faster the older I get.

    This is so great! I wonder if we have something like this in the Seattle area. My daughter would love it!

    Sounds like you had fun. I too want my own one room school house Melissa! :) I guess a corner of the living room will have to do for now! :)

    That's amazing indeed - I can't believe how much everyone has grown in the last two years :)

    That looks really fun, I want to do that someday :)

    My daughter's first piano teacher (who had also been my mom's piano teacher years ago) encouraged us to homeschool, and she compared it to her own one room school house experiences.

    Wow! Did they really have a huge piece of dough! That's awesome. I have a strict rule against looking a photos from even 6 months ago, ha!

    Fun memories!

    Back when I was a public school teacher, my district to the entire third grade to a one room school house for an entire week. We all had to dress in period clothes (as best as we could), eat and pack period lunches (no ziplock baggies folks), play period games, have period lessons, and it was colonial style discipline. The kids would be naughty on purpose so they could wear the dunce cap. LOL

    This looks like a ton of fun - wish I lived closer so I could visit too. I just realized my baby girl turns five soon and was glancing through old blog photos. Crazy ... how time flies by!!!

I’ve been looking for an excuse to host a give a way.  I thought oh I’ll do a giveaway when I reach 100 followers!  And then suddenly I had over a hundred. Then I thought ‘why don’t I celebrate when I’ve written 100 posts?’  Typical of me, I didn’t pay attention and I went right on writing past 100. So now, I’m thinking I’ve got to do a Give-A-Away this week because of the Ultimate Blog Party .   (You can read my Blog Party Introduction post here .) So I look at my post count this morning and I realize that THIS POST is my 150th Blog Post! So now, I’ll just *have* to give something away.  But what?  What can I give away?  I know.. Coffee!   I’d serve coffee (or tea) if you were sitting here with me in my dinning room chatting so here’s your chance to win a $15 Starbucks Coffee Gift Card To enter leave a comment.   I’ll use a random method (such as random.org) to choose a winner.  Winner will be announced April 9th!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW START - NEW YEAR - NEW LOOK!

Happy New Year!  With the New Year, I opted to change the look of my blog.  It's currently a work in progress and Tailorbear is doing some design work for me. It's been about a year since I last posted.  I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with blogging.  Did I want to continue to blog?  What would write?   Then I found inspiration. It's a long story and I'll share it - bit by bit - going forward.  I am still passionate about education.  While BooBear, TurtleGirl, and Tailorbear are now busy being adults,  Supergirl continues with her "homeschooling."  As our special needs, medically fragile, miracle girl, she continues to amaze us, and we continue our commitment to keep homeschooling as long as she is interested and still making progress.   I will continue to blog about homeschooling-related topics. However,  I am most excited about blogging about my health journey. I want to share what I am learning!  I'm inspired to write about my new way of eating a
