Mama's favorite, Kyle's not so sure...

Back to Apple Valley Schoolhouse and back in time. Kyle's name: Jacob. His family had four kids and they lived in a barn. His attire, pioneer gear-sort of-if you don't count the Old Navy Jeans and Oxford, but we tried. Mama's favorite field trip. Emersion into the times. The kids learn how to make butter and biscuits (grinding their own wheat), how to care for leather, sew, do laundry, make a fruit crate and create toys out of left over pieces of everything. As for Kyle, he wasn't real impressed. He said he liked the laundry and making the crate-that was it. Such a boy, it appears he didn't inherit his mother's love for history!
This picture cracks me up. This is how excited he was to sew a marble pouch. LOL!
