October 17th (Adelyn's Field Trip to Mahaffie Farmstead)

Kids waiting to see what we are going to do today at the Mahaffie farmstead.

Headed to the barn.

The kids are acting out the Mahaffie family.

Adelyn got to be a daughter.

Trey and Abby had to be husband and wife...they all thought it was hilarious.

Gorgeous horses.

This is sweet Dan....he kept following us around.

Happy to be with Addie on her field trip..only two parents got chosen for each room.

Addie, Abby and Delaney.

Next stop pulling corn of the corn husks. The kids loved this.

Addie and Nora. They all worked together to put the corn in the wagon.

Waiting to go on a carriage ride!

Wearing the super warm coat they used to wear back then.

Our turn on the ride.

I think this was the kids favorite part of the day....using the whip!!

They each got three tries...she got it to snap on the last one. Great job addie.

Delaney's turn.

Time to mine some gold!

All the concentration.

Finding the super tiny pieces!

Time to see how they cooked in the old days.

Adelyn got to pour the lard in to cook the egg.

Tucker got to crack the egg....cooking over the fire.

What are these boys talking about?? Hmmm.

Well Addie and I had a great time on her field trip so thankful for Nick working so I can stay at home with my girls!
