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

A Victorian tea, the boys had to pull out chairs for the girls... much to their dismay!
The wagon ride that toured us around.
Making butter!!
Planting onions...my kids are never this enthusiastic at home...
Part of the wooden play train...this one is for Nana... Cheyenne and Brodie
Motherwells original house very nicely kept
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??

Music Festival....(a little late)

Both Brodie and Danika participated in the Quill Plains Music Festival. Brodie played Ode to Joy and Danika played M Pony and When the Saints Go Marching In. Cameras are not allowed during performances so here are a few pictures of them at home with their instruments and awards. The festival was in March and I forgot to post them... so better late then never I guess!
