On the Homestead—High Desert Museum

I only took my camera out twice this week in Sun River—I’m not really good at capturing family dinners and bike rides (my kids did their first mountain bike ride out to Benham Falls!) and ice cream runs and late night Kings & Serfs.  

But I certainly took out the camera when we went to The Museum.  The kids loved the late-19th century homestead, where they had a lot of chores to do. 

Sweeping,

 

Watering,

 

Digging potatoes,

 

Laundry,

 

Rug beating,

 

Finally, they got to play.

 

We played inside, too.  Piper is my little stinker, dressed in a skunk costume.

 

In the quilt exhibit, Kyla spent a lot of time making her own felt design.  And she reminded me that I don’t need to buy any of the beautiful quilts that I coveted, because I could simply (!?!) make my own quilts again.  Uh, huh.

 

Wesley enjoyed taking the stuffed eagle and dropping out of the aerie over and over again.  Yep, good times.

 

Six-and-a-half hours, and we left just before we would have been kicked out.  Love this place!
