Yesteryear

Meg's class participated in yesteryear today.  The day is dedicated to living like the pioneers did.

They pan for gold




 Take a shave



do some wash



 Grind wheat




Enjoy some dutch oven biscuits and buffalo stew.
This was taken right before one kid had a huge snot rope blow out of his nose which then made another kid start to throw up the buffalo stew.......and I am no help in situations involving those two things colliding.  I begin dry heaving and have to take a walk to get in under control.




Square Dancing was my favorite to watch with no buffalo stew, snot and throw-up
I loved watching these two do the Virginia Reel


Covered Wagon ride and boy did he make it authentic by taking us off road and running the horses.
I got a serious attack of the giggles.


I admire a wagon driver with a seat like that!


Pioneer games





 This race started a brawl between the boys in the right hand side of the photo.



Overall.....a great school activity
