Wordless Wednesday- September 26

Yesterday (Tuesday), we visited "Howell Living History Farm."  We got to experience some more of what life was like in the early 1900s.  The theme was "wheat."  The kids got to plant wheat, pull a horse plow (I don't think they realized quite how heavy it was), thresh, winow and grind the wheat.  They also got to taste bread that was made with the grinded wheat topped with butter that they churned.  I just love hands-on learning.  I truly believe kids learn by DOING and "do" they did!  :-)  Much, much fun.

It looks like you had so much fun! I don't think there is any better way to learn history than to actually experience it. And you made some great memories, too!
