The girls want to go to a civil war reenactment with their Aunt Cindy this spring, so we may work towards that goal. I think it would be a blast. Dave and I were born in the wrong time period and love living off the land when we can.

Conner Prairie
We went to Conner Prairie this Wednesday. It is an interactive history park set in the very early 1800's. Visitors to these pioneer villages are encouraged to touch the items shown and visit with the "actors." The girls help haul firewood, make pie, string pumpkin for preserving, pump water, water flowers, weave, pet farm animals that walked loose, learn in a one-room school house, play period games...it was total immersion. The reinactors were completely in their rolls and did not know anything about modern times; an older man used a bull horn as a hearing aid, and a lady with a runny nose used a real handkerchief. I wanted to take more pictures of all the buildings and people, but my camera battery went dead.
