One Day Wonders

For the last few years Mia has gone to Ella Sharp Museum for a week during the summer and taken art class. With everything she already had going on this summer (going to D.C. & Williamsburg, going up north, going to Girl Scout Camp with her daddy, and don't forget crocheting at Jo-Ann's and with Aunt Cori) she decided to pick a few "One Day Wonders" to participate in this year. 

It all started on Monday with "Secrets of The Ella". The kids spent all day exploring every nook and cranny of the old buldings at the museum including the cellar and the cupola in Ella's house!

On Tuesday was "A Day in the Life". Mia took the super cute bonnet she got in Williamsburg and went to work. They did chores and played games just like the pioneer kids did. They made peach jam and biscuits for their morning snack, churned butter, and made ice cream in the afternoon. 

Tomorrow is the last wonder, "Quilts are Fun". They will be making a 9 or 12 block quilt. I can't wait to hear about it and let you know how much fun she has.

That sounds so neat. I wish I could do something like that.
