Pioneer Farm Museum

Our last field trip was sooo fun! We enjoyed experiencing the life of a pioneer and northwest Native American kid.  Here is a photo gallery of some of our experiences.

Making a broom handle

Sawing sticks
 
Pumping water
 
Learning all the chores

Washing clothes is a group effort.
 
Grinding grains

Churning butter and grinding cornmeal = Tired arms!

Kids must know all the animals in the forest and how to use all the parts before being able to hunt.

Bow and arrow
Toss the hoop to a friend (no hands!). Good hand and eye coordination practice!

Fire making!
