Motherwell Homestead....Brodie's gr.2 field trip

A pair of shoes his daughter wore.... I have one word....ouch!
Played a game of farming to demonstate how tough it was to make money. The picture below is helping to make a log cabin.

At the end of May Brodie's class went on a field trip to Motherwell. Motherwell is the name (last) of a man that came to Saskatchewan and helped the farmers out a great deal at the government level. His farm is now a historical site and quite worth the drive. There are tour guides there dressed in the appropriate clothes for that era, and were very informative.

Cleaning up

The easy part was knocking the trees down now the hard part of picking up the mess left behind. One cool Saturday we got busy and did some cleaning up. I never did get a picture of Brodie.... hmm where was that boy??
