Emmaline's Adventures #6

Yesterday somebody invited us to come see some fireworks for Pioneer Day and we went to go see them last night. We stayed up past our bedtime, but we had to take a nap if we wanted to go. The fireworks were just a short walk away. Some of them went way up in the sky and sparkled and some of them were down low. Some shot up in the air but they didn't sparkle. We took a blanket and some jackets in case it was cold outside. We sat on the blanket. We watched the fireworks with some of Grandma's neighbors.



This one had red and orange.



This one was red with some orange. The smoke from the fireworks got in our eyes.

Today we went to the 'farm' again. It is like a time machine so we went to 1860. This time we got to see some of the animals. We got to see chickens and we fed them. We saw cows, pigs, and baby kittens. When we were riding the train, Grandma saw some horses galloping around and also some baby goats. I liked the kittens the best. I like kittens a lot. We also got to ride the train again today. When our ride was over, the engineer let us blow the train whistle!





We played that game where you try to knock cans off a stump. I did really well at it. We also found a 2nd can.



Lincoln was trying to help. Maybe he wanted to play the game, too! He helped by putting the can back.



We found a raspberry patch and the raspberries were ripe! They were also really yummy. We ate a lot of them!










We got to ride the ponies again today. The pony girls were going to leave but we asked if we could ride the ponies, so they hooked them up special for us.



Here are some more pictures from the farm.



If you look closely maybe you can find a 'V'.









We found some peahen eggs on top of the dugout!



When we got home from the farm, Grandma showed us how to make hollyhock dolls.






We have been eating lots of yummy, but messy things, like spaghetti, beets from the garden, cherries and raspberries.
