April 28

We had a great school tour! The kids were so interested. They asked detailed questions and were truely excited. Sandy, Ron, Grandpa Eddie and Grandpa Gene all worked so hard to make sure everyone learned something new and had a great time.

The New Earth Science Area

We have over 700 kids scheduled before May 8 for Rock and Mineral School Tours. We are working on the Little Farmer's Museum Exhibit: Simple Machines. ( this came from teacher requests)

AND in the yet to be named ... Fossil Fnd / Dig the building is up and concrete proured. And oh yes to add to the Earth Science experience ... the earthworm coccoons arrived. Later today, Grandpa Gene and I will attempt to hatch worms.

Maybe Entertainment

We are always looking for new family based entertainment.

We had an opportunity to meet these people. These were very fun people.

We would be interested in what anyone thinks.

Simple Machines

Grandpa Gene has been repairing and collecting a variety of old machines. Today he fixed the corn sheller and the grinder, that works with foot levers. We found an old lard press, - he fixed that as well. He's great! He is such a good sport when it comes to any project.

We couldn't do it without him.

Do you know what this machine is?

Lawnmover!

Can you imagine?

Do you know what this is?

Looking back it is funny what was a great machine!

This crazy looking machine washed clothes.

We are redesigning Little Farmer's Museum to add Simple Machines - at the request of visiting teachers. Grandpa Gene is using his many years with the boy scouts to build a hands on pulley station. Pull the ropes and watch the buckets rise.
