Photo Update

We started our day by helping the wranglers feed their horses. The horses ate breakfast before we did!
After breakfast, we took a ride around Fort McKavett on horseback.





We made food in Dutch Ovens!





We milked a cow and learned about the products that can be made from cow milk: butter, cheese and ice cream!


Using a butter churn...

Making ice cream...










We learned about farm and ranch life from a real rancher.




We learned about lanolin, a sheep by-product that is used in most lotions ...

It didn't smell very good, though.


Even Mr. Shug thought it smelled funny!

    Klara,
    How was the old fashioned washing of clothes compared to now? I've sent you a couple of blogs, but I don't see them... Look at yesterday's comments.

    Love & Miss You,
    Mama
