Caesar’s Creek Pioneer Village 2021

Dear Sis,

It’s been a while since we have been to the pioneer village at Caesar’s Creek State Park. There was a lot of change in the few years we’ve been away! Although, we didn’t get many pictures of the children, we finally got some really nice pictures of our dresses. We even saw our long lost friend Dana, in her “one good dress!”

Photo compliments of Jenn’s husband, Brandon.

I love this photo you took of me cuddling Charlotte!

The dying of your dress to amend the bleeding hem tape turned out perfectly! It’s like it never happened… except for the trauma:) Photo compliments of Jenn.

Jenn and I finally have a photo together as well. We were photo bombed by Charlotte and daddy’s don’t always get the full dress, but it’s still a nice picture:)

This picture of Charlotte giving Cooper stink face is priceless! Had to include it too!!!

Love,

Our 1860s Memorial Day

Dear Sis,

Thanks for joining us today for an 1860s picnic at Spring Grove Cemetery! 

This photo and a few of the others were taken by my friend Mekaela. She has become a living history pro in just a handful of years. I feel lucky to be friends with someone so wonderful at turning everyday events into living history. 

We brought rice pudding and fresh berries. I found the recipe on The American Table.

You did such a wonderful job trimming your wool gown and retrimming your bonnet. You always look so lovely in period garb!!!

Grant was adorable in William’s old hand-me-downs.

Evelyn looked precious in here new sheer gown!

William looks so grown up now that he has been breeched! It was my first attempt at anything beyond boys frocks, but I think it turned out perfect!

I still need to put some flowers inside my bonnet so the netting doesn’t make me feel so elderly! Charlotte was darling in Evelyn’s old hand-me-downs.

I look forward to more events with you and the kids! Thanks for a wonderful day!!!

Love,

b
