We had a lot of beautiful weather right from the beginning of June that allowed us to spend time outside. We took the kids to the newest splash park in our area for the first time, which opened up last fall but we didn’t get to it until now.
We had a bbq for our community group wind-up (there were some people missing).
Jared started helping our friend build our deck!
Blake also really enjoyed helping by passing tools. So cute!
I had the privilege of going on Kiera’s field trip to the Mennonite Heritage Village where we got to see how our ancestors used to live. We got tours of several different buildings including the printing press, the windmill used for grinding up grain, an old house and this was a one-room schoolhouse.
She was showing them how to use an old fountain pen by dipping it into a bottle of ink.
We got to see tools used in a barn and the barn was attached to an old house.
She got to ride in a little bus thing. You could tell the kids were getting antsy and it was almost lunchtime!
We got to see how a summer kitchen works (where they used to cook their food in summer so as to not heat up the house). We also got to try bannock with jam!
I loved all of the flowers all over the place.
We ate a picnic lunch outside and then the kids got to buy candy in the general store and play for a bit.
We went on a horse-drawn wagon ride.
All of the kids enjoyed the animals and feeding them long stems of grass.
I was amused that the baby goat hopped up onto the log.
The underground house was always my favorite as a kid (I used to take field trips here, too).
I’m so thankful for my friends who baby-sat my kids (and the little girl I baby-sit full-time) throughout the year so that I could volunteer at school and go on the occasional field trip! More summer photos to come…
