Last week Daddy and Mommy went on a date, and so us little kids played outside with Kitty. We played like we were from the old days. We had a covered wagon and a horse to pull it (and that was Victoria 🙂 ). Kitty was the mom and all of us had funny names and were her children. My pretend name was Eliza Jane. We got water from the spring and drank it out of an old ice cream bucket with a dipper. Then we used other buckets and filled them with freezing cold water. Then we washed our faces and hands with real soap! Then we dried them with a towel. Later Kitty said that we could stand in the buckets and pretend to take baths. We got our clothes a little wet, except Titus, who got soaked! Later we got to eat cobbler in the grass with whipped cream! Yummy! 🙂 We had lots of fun!
That looks like way too much fun, Eliza Jane! What a creative covered wagon! Take good care of your horse.
Do you mean to say the Indians never attacked? By the way, where were all the outlaws? I dare say, “The perfect female version of what we used to play all day in the summer” – except you all were considerate and wise enough to include the little ones! I’m sure Almanzo had his 6-shooter and rifle handy just in case. 🙂 Bless you all!
I am having fun with your website. This looked like a game I would have liked to play with you. I could have been the second horse…or that missing Indian…Blessings to all!
Sounds like someone has been reading the Little House books!:) It is nice to have so many people to be able to play something like that!:)
Mrs. Marion, we would have LOVED to have you here!! Oh, yes, I definitely could have used some help!:):)We had a lot of fun!!
