A Fun Day


This is the cantilever  saw that was used in the pictures  that you saw.


This a root cellar in Skansen Village.  In the olden days people didn’t have freezers  or refridgerators so they kept stuff that needed to be kept cool in an earthen hut underground.

This is a family of goats at the Skansen Village.

This is a plumb bob that is made out of pewter. A plumb bob is something to show if something is plumb or not. Plumb is the same thing as vertical.

You make it by boiling down a bar of pewter, which is a metal, in a pot, and this is a mold that you pour the pewter in and then it hardens. I helped do it.

This is a farmer and his horse. They are coming back from harvesting hay to feed the horse.

  1. Hi Elijah- I am having so much fun reading your blog! You have terrific pictures and the places you're visiting are so interesting. I especially loved learning about the salt mine. I am going to show your blog to Sadie and Bluma so they can see all the fantastic stuff you are doing. Love Aunt Shira
