Cobblestone Farm

On Friday, Spencer's class had a field trip to the Cobblestone Farm in Ann Arbor. It was a very fun and educational outing for the children and they really enjoyed it. We churned butter outside a log cabin. Spencer said it was a house made of trees. Inside the house, they learned about candle preserving, mouse holes, old time stoves and ticking mattresses. They got to try on old day clothing, make their own ticking mattress, make a wooden toy, de-corn a cob of corn and eat the butter they made on some cornbread. Spencer spent a lot of time rearranging logs and climbing on things. It was a great time!
