Due to the economy many state and local parks are offering free days. Mondays in June were free to go to Old World Wisconsin and we couldn't pass that up. It would have normally run us about $47 for the kids and I to attend. What a fabulous thing to get in for free. We took a cooler with lunch. I also brought water bottles filled with ice and extra water to continue to replenish our water bottles. This way the field trip only cost us the gas to get there and back - which wasn't too bad since the price of gas has come down.
Here are some of the pictures from our trip to Old World Wisconsin.
Carding the wool
Sure washing the clothes seems like FUN when it is done on a field trip but if they were asked to wash clothes this way all the time - I am thinking it would no longer be 'fun'.
Things I am thankful for - washing machines (ours by the way is making a horrible sound and I smelled smoke - not a good sign - we are calling the repairman tomorrow). Maybe we will end up washing this way for awhile (ya think?! - not!!)
The cobbler was teaching how shoes were made.
JJ got to practice rolling dough. While this is something done in the past, it is also something we currently do. My kids and husband love sugar cookies.
