Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked and walked

We had FHE on pioneers tonight. Of course, we sang THE song! Then we had a lesson on what we would be able to bring with us in our wagon or handcart if we were pioneers (we had a picture for each thing). We listened to a pioneer story about two women and the power of the priesthood. (We emphasized that being a pioneer was very dangerous. That got Nathan's attention!) Next everyone got a piece of cardstock cut into the shape of some clothing with holes punch around the edges. They got a piece of yarn with tape wrapped around one end (the needle) and sewed their own clothes. I personally, am very grateful for electric sewing machines! Next they walked through ice water in the tub. Apparently I needed more ice because it was all melted before we got them into the water and no one really complained that it was too cold (darn!). :) We finished the night by making butter from whipping cream in baby food jars and then spreading it on toast. Daniel was bored before he hit butter, but the younger two did pretty good. They had small jars, too. I can't take too much credit for the lesson since I found it on Deseret Book's web page. It was a pretty good lesson.
