The day after Thanksgiving we went to Homestead!!! Homestead is a place in Waco, TX were home schooled families life in a close knit community serving Christ. One of their goals is to turn the hearts of the children toward Christ and their families. Their community is a lot like some of the Amish communities. They are very practical people that love the Lord and want to get back to the basics of life. Here is their website if you are interested : http://www.homesteadcraftfair.com/ We all loved visiting there! This was our second year there and (again) it was rainy and cold!! But we still had a great time!!! Just so you know we would like to learn how to do a lot of the things they were doing some examples are: Farming, soap making, cheese making, bee keeping and so much more!!! Here are some of the pictures: John bundled up for the cold :-)
Abby really enjoyed the puppies at the petting zoo!!
We were able to watch this sheep that hadn't been sheared in 2 years get shorn!! Of course Mom wanted to take the sheep home but it wouldn't fit in the van.:-)
Every kid in the petting zoo wanted to take this puppy home! It was just too cute!!!
*sigh* I wish we were back at the farm so I could have my goats again!
One of the many beautiful views!
It was so cold!!! We had just eaten and I had Jesse on my lap and Becca was shivering!
