Connor Prairie

We have been itching to go back to Connor Prairie all month. But, Connor Prairie is a living history park that takes you back in time to 1836. Back then, there were no sidewalks and a lot of mud pits when it rains every day for 2 weeks. It finally dried out enough on Sunday for us to journey over there. Of course, our first stop was the barn. It was filled with lots of babies. There were a set of 8 day old twin goats, a couple of lambs and a couple of calfs. Our favorite farm hand brought out this one for us to pet. And can you believe it, the girl who LOVES cows, wouldn't touch this 3 week old calf. The rest of us gave her lots of love.
This little lamb got pretty friendly with Evie's boot.

And by the time we wandered around, we were the last people in the village. This was awesome because all of the olde tyme people gave us lots of attention. in this house, we were making May day baskets to fill with flowers. Later, Evie and I sawed through a log that they will use to build the new Potter's shed. While Evie and I were sawing, Jim and Annalise were chasing chickens back into the coop. It was pretty fun. I'm already thinking making the 7 mile journey back, if it ever stops raining.
