Pioneer days

On Saturday us kids and mom got to go to the annual harvest fest held at the Yamhill County Historical Museum. While small, it was fun. There was a blacksmith busy making horse shoes, A woman making bobbin lace and they were harvesting the oats and baling them that day too. One of the balers was done by motor power and the other one was done by horse power, er, mule power that is.:) The mules were a lot slower then the motor driven baler but they were much quieter and more fun to watch (at least I think so). We also got to have a wagon ride around the oat field; It was fun bumping around and listening to bells on the mules' harnesses. Despite all that there was and all that we got to do, our favorite part, believe it or not, was driving through the hay field that we had to park in! The farmers plant the hay in rows and so on our way in and out we had to bump over all those rows in our big fifteen seater van. We couldn't stop laughing it was so much fun! The van was bumping violently up and down and up and down. B#7 enjoyed the roller coaster of a ride too!:)
