4th of July & Joel Lane Museum House

We visited the Joel Lane Museum House, where they were having special events for the Fourth of July. This house was built in the early 1770's. They had re-enactors, crafts, demonstrations, and much more. The kids got to try writing with quill pens.

They had a spot where you could play with toys from that time period.

Here is the cake the kids think we have to have every 4th of July. It's pound cake, then a layer of jello, and then cool whip. Caleigh put on the strawberry stripes and Molly did the blueberry stars.
