I met Sterling's class on a field trip back to the year 1845 yesterday. The girls were given a skirt to wear and then stayed inside a small cabin to make Johnnycake. The boys, however, donned their pioneer shirts and spent the morning mending fences. In the pouring rain. The sheep on this working farm were a little confused when they realized their escape route had been patched.
The boys were good sports, even when cold and soaking wet. I'm glad I tagged along. Here are a few grainy iPod pictures.

You can't really tell how wet these kids are, but in this picture they getting a break from the rain in a dry area between two barns. The volunteer, dressed in 1845 period clothing, is telling them about U.S. history during that era. |
