Childhood in Texas


While Grandpa Boaz and Aunt Karla were visiting us, we took a fun field trip that we didn't get to do last year when we were studying Texas history - we went to Barrington Living History Farm and Washington-on-the-Brazos to learn what childhood was like in 19th century Texas.


We toured the living history cotton farm.






And we got to do chores and play at the home of Anson Jones, once of the presidents of the Republic of Texas.






After a picnic in the pecan grove on this perfect-weather day, the older kids learned even more at the Star of the Republic Museum.  They even got to make their own toys to take home!
