Last Saturday we took the kids to the Foxfire Museum in Dillard, GA.  The Dillard area is one of our favorite areas. Foxfire is set up to look like an Appalachian town in the 1800's.  We saw tons of log cabins and learned why they were built the way they were.  Mommy and Daddy learned A LOT.  LOL




Rubber Band guns of course. Just imagine how well that went on the ride home. :)

 Stilts.  Hmmm, we never did figure out why there were stilts.  We were having to much fun trying to use them. 
Some did better then others.  lol

The tub they used for boiling hogs, making soup, washing clothes etc.... ewww gross.

The weaving room.  Such a cute place.  The kids were kinda shocked how much went into having clothing and linens back then.  You could not just go to the store!

The sweet lady showed us how the kids had to sit for hours and hours a day just to make the YARN before they could even begin to make the clothing.

The kids wanted to drive the wagon.


My boys

 The church doubled for a school house and just about everything else.
Hello Awkward Family Photos!  You can't see it because it was directly behind Jimmy and I but there was a "baby" size coffin.  We had no idea and were just cheesin it up!!  Ick.
We had so much fun though!  After we left we went for a long drive around some BEAUTIFUL country.  Stopped at Tallulah Gorge for some snacks and back on the road again.  Great day.
