I took the kids to the Heritage Farmstead Museum last week so they could experience life before TV, washing machines and ChickFilA. It was a great (hot) trip and well worth the sweat. The Farmstead docent took us on a tour and introduced us to basic chores children would have done over 100 years ago. We did laundry, ground corn to feed chickens, milked a "cow", gathered apples and firewood, beat rugs, churned butter, planted corn, rode in a covered wagon and then played in the water down at the creek. Avery said she wished she could do laundry, by hand, all day.
