Olden Days!

Today Luci and Sophie were running some errands with Tía and they stopped at a little tiny museum. It has lots of really old stuff in it.

Luci wondered what it was like to have to get water from a pump...

...to wash clothes in this...

Sophie wanted to call France on this phone!

And she liked this doll:

I think the most interesting thing is that our town was started by a woman! Her husband died, leaving her with a farm and 6 small children. She also started the first bank. That's cool.

Tía ran into a friend from high school at the museum and they talked about their own olden days! Luci and Sophie thought that was boring and played in the yard. I stayed home to do some research on phoebes and how long it takes for their eggs to hatch. More on that later!

  1. What a neat museum! I like to visit little museums like that. It's a whole lot easier to see everything. ;)

    That doll is cute! I love seeing dolls in museums and then imagining the hours of play she endured with her own little girl.
