Stepping back in time!

Wednesday I had the opportunity to join Estella's class to Norlands, living history ~1853

Estella was Eliza Fuller. 

Mrs. Wentworth, Stella's teacher =) 

During lunch, they gave a little history on each student. Eliza was a teacher who married at 40 and lived till about 75!! She had a long life, other students, not so lucky...It was really interesting (and a little disturbing) to hear the story of the real life children back in the day. Many died in young 20's and a couple didnt make it that long. But that was life back then.  

Bean game, super cute!!! We will be playing that here =)

Stella did not like the feather pen, hopefully she'll appreciate her abundance of pens & pencils now =) 

Stella had a little lamb 

they got to act out a story, Hiram (in the hat) was the farmer, and Stella was the farmer's wife. At bed time she said, I was wondering if we were going to have to kiss...few, not this time ;)

She can pull off any look with that sweet face, but I LOVE this one!!!! 

Stella's class!
