We had us some real 1800s fun at this Girl Scout Event. Here is Katelyn's Troop posing in the spring clover in front of an old victorian house.
What has made Katelyn so excited about the 1800s? Caddie Woodlawn!
Mom picked up a used copy of Caddie Woodlawn at the CFB Used Book Fair a few months ago. We read each chapter day by day at bedtime. We are now working on reading Magical Melons, the Caddie Woodlawn sequel.
Katelyn has been enthralled with the adventures of this pioneer redheaded girl who lived on a farm in western Wisconsin. She meets indians, takes care of animals, goes to a one-room schoolhouse, and does all sorts of things that Katelyn would like to do. Sigh...to be born in the wrong century. I think I could join Katelyn in enjoying pioneer life.
