Kylie, Reese, Jamie and I took a morning to walk up to Moyle Park and enjoy going back in time. The girls were able to get a taste of what pioneer life was like by doing the following:
Learning to made candles...no electricity back then and you had to make your candles...one dip at a time! Kylie made her own candle!
Kylie and Jamie were able to climb up the ladder to check out the top of the tower that was used to protect the Moyle family from Indians.
Jamie, Reese and Kylie in front of the tower...notice the holes in the rock (that is where they would use their guns to protect themselves.)
No washing machines back then...Ky and Reese were able to use a washboard and wash an article of clothing. It wouldn't be too bad in the summer but can you imagine doing your laundry in the cold winter month's?
Then Kylie was able to hang up her laundry! Cutest girl ever!!!
The girls making butter...no going to the grocery store to buy a stick of butter!
Lots of fun learning about the pioneer lifestyle...
Ky jumping rope with some of the pioneer children....
On our walk home Kylie found a little secret place in the woods....it had a tiny bench and fun places to play and use her amazing imagination!
