The Colonial Farm Life Adventure Tour gives a glimpse into what it was like to live during the Colonial Days.  The kids visited 9 different stations throughout the 3 hour experience, which included many hands-on opportunities. 

This was another fantastic field trip from Riley’s Farm!  They really know how to do field trips right.

The girls said their favorite experiences were the etiquette training, candle dipping, and quill & ink.

What a FUN day!
