Here are a few pictures I'm sharing of the kids making butter.
We are enjoying Westward HO! so much. Today we made butter, did some research about the Santa Fe and Oregon Trails, made several minit books for our scrapbook, researched the Sager family (On to Oregon is based on this real family), and made a timeline.
I'm struck by the courage and perseverance of the pioneers. This is my favorite time period, but I'm not sure I would have had the same endurance. I think we are too soft nowadays.

Sounds like so much fun! Wish we could join in. I love the little purple dress and bonnet. Did you make them?
Thanks! My mom made the dress, bonnet, and apron for Abby's birthday.
What did you use to make the cheese? Mother-in-law has a butter churn... if you'll tell me what to use, I'll churn butter and tape it for you. Eh?
Look at the February 1st post about the cheese - I put the recipe up. I'll have to look in my Little House cookbook to see how to use a churn to make butter, OK? I'll let you know.... Love You!!
