Kristen's goes back in time . . . .

Kristen was invited to to attend Miss Rachel's Preparatory Academy this week. Rachel is a young lady in our church who put a whole week of fun-filled historical and educational week together as part as her own schooling. She even made all the little girls' skirts, aprons, and panty looms so they could dress in the 1800's period to enhance their learning ecperience. Monday the girls made homemade wheat bread and butter and also learned out to make a handkerchief and embroidered their initial on it. Today was a work day so Kristen had to do chores such as sweeping, make strawberry jelly and she learned to knit. Tomorrow is Victorian Ladies Day and they will have etiquette lessons and enjoy a tea party. They are also learning how to do a historical dance. How fun is that? Kristen is having so much fun! Chrissie went over today to take pictures of the girls so I am sure I will have more pictures to post later in the week. These two pictures above are ones I took this morning before she left. Isn't she adorable in that bonnet? She got that while we were in Indiana last year visiting Connor Praire while on a educational vacation.
