Prairie Days 2011: Saturday!

Hello! I am finally getting around to posting a couple of the promised pictures and video clips from last Saturday... Please excuse my negligence...

 Saturday morning started out early with a rain shower, but thankfully our tent didn't leak! After a short stop at the campfire, which had already been started by James B, I spent some time visiting with some friends. It didn't take too long to get to the table after the call rang out; "Fresh Pancakes for Breakfast!" One of the many traditions that has started at prairie days is that of making fresh pancakes over the campfire, and I have to say it is one of my favorites! ☺

 Shortly after breakfast there were several demonstrations going on, as well as things for people to participate in. Isaac K, from over at Green Pastures Farm, did a demonstration on trapping, Mr. and Mrs. D. staged a Spelling Bee, and there were archery lessons for anybody who wanted them... 


I started this post this morning, but never got the time to finish it up... Now it's bed time, so I will quick post a couple of video clips from Saturday, and maybe I can post a better description of our day another time... :-)

First, a video of a skit that Jacob and I did:



And another skit, this time with my Mom's cousin's family as well:



And I mustn't forget our special guest, George Washington!  More about him later...



That's all for now, Goodnight!

Great job Andrew and great job Jacob! Very nice skit, and very good portrayal of that scene from the Andy Griffith show.
I've watched about all the episodes from that show, and loved the oldest ones especially well. When Barney moved to Raliegh, it changed it quite a bit.
So it was great to see him again! ;)
All of the shows were very nice. George Washington, didn't have quite as deep a voice as I've always imagined... but it sure is nice to see him in person after all these years! :)
So much fun ya'll must have had at Prarie Days. Looks great.
Have a blessed day.

You guys were awesome. Both you and Jacob portrayed the characters perfectly. And I loved how it fit in with the Appleseed theme.
Your mom also made the perfect "viper". I was so glad she thought of the idea for the whole skit. Thanks for posting these!
