Conner Prairie

(Monday, July 4)
Conner Prairie was so amazing! In the Conner kitchen was a tool over the fireplace called a crane. We got to help cut ends off of gooseberries and also made candles out of beeswax. Boy, do they smell good! We saw a cow chewing its cud and learned about that. The cow chews food and swallows it. Then a bit of the food comes back up its throat from its belly. That process goes on until every piece of grass or food has been chewed and swallowed three times. At the barn we got to pet baby sheep and goats. One of the sheep was curled up next to its mother. We held a gun at the Indian camp. It was so heavy! We went through the Civil War Experience in Conner Prairie and it rocked! Today was a great day.
