Sturbridge Field Trip By Sis Age 7

We went to a Field Trip together as a family!!!!
It was fun!!!
I am going to write about it in my thousands of Journals!!!!
I suppose you are thinking how long was it to get there?
Well For us it is 2 Hours And 11 minutes to get there!!!
So total of driving there it took 4 Hours And 22 minutes to there and back!!!
So you might not think it was worth it but you just read and you might change your mind!!!
It was awesome!!!
So that is why I have chosen to write about it!!!
So where on earth do I start?
Well you might live some where else but to us it looked like a drizzle and when we got out after we had been driving for a hour and a half we were getting tired of driving!!!
And we went to a resting area!!!
And we bought a camera!!!
And used the bathroom!!!
And when we finally got there we waited in line for a long time in the rain the boys went back and got our lunch!!!
Food felt soooooo good!!!!
And then we went and payed and then we got settled and looked at our map and in the building was a play area!!!!
And it was amazing!!!
We went and played a game in the room where you could play like the settelers did!!!
It was awesome!!!
And just as we were going out to set out on a new adventure I shouted Mom look!!!
And there was mirror where there were little girls like me Sis dressing up like in the old days!!!
And I got in a dress and Mom took a picture of me!!!
And then we set out and found a little barn!!!
It had some chickens!!
And then we set out again and I will not be able to tell you the things in order!!!
We did a lot!!!
And we found a cooper shop where a man dressed up explained about how coopers work!!!
It was fun!!!
And we got to do a thing where you made wood flat!!!
And then came the schoolhouse!!!
And a women there said that the children used to come to school and then they stayed for 3 hours and then they went back and had dinner (lunch) and came back for another 3 hours!!!
And Mom said Wow!!!
Cause she homeschools!!!
And we walked to a barn where we saw a 2 oxen and then Mom took a picture of us!!!
Ane then we walked out of it and saw a few cows!!!
One was friendly and we touched him!!!
And then we saw a chicken again!!!
And then we saw a 2 pigs!!!
And then we went to a house that the people would have lived in and they were building it to look like the people in the olden days houses!!!
It was fun!!!
But the childrens attic was cut off.
But that was OK cause they were probably building up there!!
We would not want any trouble!!!!
And then we went to a meeting house!!!
And it was fun to see that and we saw a lot of seats!!
And it said that people could get fans and feet warmers exc.!!!
And we went up and saw a top of the meeting house for more people!!!
And then we went to see a thing which had hoops that you could race if you wanted to!!!
It was fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And finally I got the hang of it!!!
And we went to a sawmill!!!
And there was a lot of water below it and do you know why?
Well it was because what powers the mill?
Water!!!!
You are right if you had guessed that!!!
And we went to a cup maker and we saw him make cups!!
We did not see him put on the handles though but he said he had to wait a long time before he put on the handles!!!!
It was fun to watch him do it!!!
A women asked "When do you stop when your legs get tired?"
He said "No when my hands get tired!!!!!"
It is fun to watch people do things!!!
And we set out again to a blacksmith shop!!!
And we saw some of the things that he uses to make the stuff he needs to!!!
He said that his stove is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hotter then ours!!!
And we went to a shop where we here about the things women bought in the olden days!!!
Here are some of the things!!!
"BASCKETS AND CLOTH AND SUGAR AND FLOUR AND ALL SORTS OF COOKING STUFF AND MORE CLOTH AND ALL SORTS OF STUFF YOU CAN NOT GROW!!!
It was fun to see!!!!
And it was a lot of fun!!!!
And that was a day I will remember all of my life!!!
