2 to School

Fair time

I took the kids to our county fair yesterday. It was a perfect sunny and warm September day. They loved the animals although the oldest dwelled on the life cycles of farm animals a bit. They got such a kick over petting the cows and seeing the chickens. They were amazed to see the goats milked and to realize that is how the milk gets from animal to their glasses.
A part of his science studies the past month has been to read Diary of an Early American Boy.It's tells of a farm boy's life in the early 19th century on a New England Farm. My oldest was excited to see the antique corn shellers and mills that he could try out.
