Our History Center has a monthly free program for families. This month, it had several activities, including games. All of the kids enjoyed playing 9 pins.
Nathaniel called this guy the bravest man in the county because he held the punch while every kid hammered it (and sometimes him) with a wooden mallet. Here Lydia is punching holes for her marble bag. Gyunay made one, too.
Lydia also made this cute colonial hat. She promptly gave it to me to hold, so I wore it for the rest of the time.
Three of the kids enjoyed candle making. In case you're wondering, Elijah was there, too, but he was avoiding pictures and most activities - except the 9-pins. Everyone loves 9-pins.
The kids used 100 year old grinders to take the kernels off the cob, and then put the kernels into the second grinder to make corn meal. Malachi really got into grinding corn into cornmeal.
And this lady helping my kids remembers all of their names, every month. I really need to find out her name.
