A Cowboy's Chuckwagon






I love homeschooling (you didn't already know that did you?). It has given us so many opportunities to do unique things. From our Japanese class to this one A Cowboy's Chuck wagon, we are truly blessed to be able to take advantage of all of the learning opportunities presented to us! For this one we headed over to The Hall of State at Fair Park for an interactive look at how cowboys, fur trappers, women and other pioneers would have lived life in Texas' younger days. The kids got to play with period toys and of course we put them to work doing chores like grinding corn for corn bread and washing the laundry by hand!

The next time I start to complain about doing laundry, I will have a peek back at this photo! Could you imagine the time it would have taken?!


Freshly churned butter, YUM!

Grinding some corn for some corn bread for that butter!
