We had a great time on our field trip to This is the Place state park. We began our day by visiting and learning about all of the baby animals they have on their farm.
Then we visited the pioneer cabin. We learned about all of the chores that the young boys and girls had to do, and we decided that our lives are pretty easy.
The pioneers had to wash all of their clothes by hand, and then hang them to dry- even in the cold winter!
They cleaned their rugs by hanging them outside and beating them with a stick.
They had to prepare their fields with hand plows.
Pioneer children even helped milk the cows.
Of course, our favorite parts of this field trip were playing on the playground and the train ride!
