Field Trip to Stuhr Museum

We have this great real living history museum here in Nebraska. Our school takes the children on field trips there each year. As a child I remember most of the attractions, but it is nice to go along with Dahrran on the many field trips he will take.

We were fortunate enough to get to see the 1890's farm. We got to see where/how children in the late 1800's got to live, and the many chores they had to do. We started off learning about the outhouse or privee. The children were told how if they were living in the 1800's they would've had to use it when they needed to use the restroom. They also got told how at their age they would probably be potty training their younger brother or sister, thus the reason for two seats.

Next we headed to the chicken house where the children were told they would have to care for the chickens, and gather eggs.

Off to pump some water for ma to do the dishes. Each child was able to pump the well and get some water for ma and her dishes.

We then called Pa, by ringing the supper bell, and headed to the barn where we took care of some animals. Helped "milk" the cows, and then helped shear the sheep. Dahrran was lucky enough to be the boy who got to jump and squish the wool down in the sack.

It was a long hard day on the farm, but we survived. Here is Dahrran's class outside the barn with their teacher and our tour guide "gram".

Off to the park for some lunch and some fun play time. There is this A-M-A-Z-I-N-G wooden fortress at the park. I'd love to go back there sometime, but considering it's over an hour away and we don't regularly go that way, it probably won't happen.

Here are the kindgergardeners with their Bronco Buddies. In the school system there are high school students that are called Bronco Buddies, and they get to come along on field trips, parties, and such throughout the school year. It's a great program!!!

And the field trip wouldn't be complete without a stop at the local Adopt-a-pet, and vet clinic!
