Pioneer Days!

We are part of a homeschooling group that has some very talented moms.  We attended an event this week called Pioneer days.  The other moms were demonstrating some skills that would have been common during pioneer times.  It was a great way to end our school year of studying Little House on the Prairie.   Here are a few pictures from the day!

Miss Jennifer shows the girls how to spin!

Yes, that is a look of frustration on Eliana's face.  All she has wanted to learn for months is how to knit.  Miss Jennifer is teaching her.  It is not going as well as Eliana had hoped!

JoJo helped churn the butter.

Making Candles

This is the soap Eliana whittled.  If you can't see it, Optimus Prime is carved in the top.  Don't worry - I can't see it either!
