When you make a mistake, it's just an opportunity to learn something new.

Riley's Farm

Last week the girls and I went on a day trip to Riley's Farms for a colonial era reenactment. It's one thing to read about history, it's another to actually experience it. Riley's Farm really brings history alive. All the staff at Riley's farm are dressed in colonial costume, and all speak with "British" accents
The first thing we did was try to show off our strength by using an authentic cider press to press apples for cider. We then dipped candles, which we got to keep for souvenirs. After etiquette lessons and churning butter, we learned how to write with real quills and ink, as well as loom. Writing with quills was surprisingly difficult. It's almost impossible to write without leaving dark blotches all over the paper.We had a wonderful time trying to produce the best written work. We rounded of our tour with colonial era games. So much fun! We had such a wonderful time, that we went back to Riley's Farm on Saturday to pick apples!
