The kids and I got a little creative the other day while it was raining cats and dogs. I realized that Pioneer Day is coming up (the 24th) and so I told them the 'Reader's Digest Condensed Version' of the pioneers; how they traveled across the US in search of a place where they could live in peace, without mobs chasing them out and burning down all their homes! We talked mostly about how they had to walk the whole way. They had all their things inside of covered wagons, and they cooked over a fire for every meal (of course, that's not too awfully strange, as most people do that here, too...) So, we pulled out our 'tent', got out our 'food', and I made a 'fire' right in the living room!
Josh is 'cooking' over the open fire. So is Claire, but, ummm...I didn't know that Andrew's shoes were on the menu! Look at how happy little Andrew is! :) They had so much fun! :)
Now it's one of their favorite pastimes! Josh is always asking me, "Mom, I want to play pioneer!!"
