A Day at The Baker's Farm

We visited a friend of ours who lives on a farm. They raise show goats, chickens, cows and they even had kittens!! Kali and Braden had a great time!! They got to hold and feed baby goats and gather chicken eggs!!

Fort Gibson Heritage Day

Yesterday we got to go on a field trip to Fort Gibson, the oldest community in the State of Oklahoma. While we were there, we were able to tour "The Fort" made up of log stockades and historic buildings. We also had the opportunity to visit with the numerous reenactors that were at the fort. The reenactors covered a time period from 1824 to 1890, when Indians, Amry & Federal Troops occupied the fort. Some of what they covered was the Fur Trade, Indian Removal, the Civil War and Reconstruction, the Indian Wars, and the Dawes Commission era. Even though it was FREEZING cold, we had a great time. We learned a lot about how they lived, the clothes they wore and how they washed them, and what they ate and how they cooked it. Kali thinks she could survive with no running water or electricity.... YEAH RIGHT!!! http://www.fortgibson.com/town_history.htm

Trip to Nana's

Last week we went to Illinois to visit Nana, Papa, Nicholas, & Lexi. It was a much needed break! We got to be there for Lexi's 10th Birthday party, see the play of "The Wiz", watch Nicholas play basketball, go roller skating and go to the Homeschool Expo in St. Louis. The kids had a great time and were not ready to come home.
