It was Pioneer Day at Jordyns school on Friday, so we put together these outfits...but what they needed were bonnets, so
i found this link on youtube and made these bonnets for us. Now with our outfits complete, we were ready to go!
I was invited to help at the quilt station, but was also there to take photos for the yearbook, so i ran around the event getting pictures of all i could, while also helping at the quilt station :)
Besides the quilt station, there was square dancing, story time, and a one room school house.
They also enjoyed flapjacks with butter they made themselves and they also learned how to use a telegraph.
It was great fun being a pioneer for a day...but i dont think i could do the dress and bonnet on a permanent basis! In fact, it was great to suit up into my soccer mom clothes to go to practice afterwords! Happy Trails Everyone ~

What a fun day and a great idea to engage the kids with the past. I love your outfits and you are so right - the hats were a must!! Hugs.
Looks like it was a blast! So happy to see the kids connecting with the past. Hugs and love !
You both look adorable in your bonnets! Though they are like blinders.. I'm not sure how you can see where you are going! Lol
Bonnets are quite fun to make. I made several when we did a performance of 'Our Country's Good' which was set in 1789 - although they weren't as voluminous as yours!
