A Day at Kings Mtn Park

It's beginning to feel like fall!!!! Yeah!!!!! Last Saturday was a perfect day to be outside. We decided to go and investigate one of the National/ State parks near us. There are two parks right together. On the state park side it has an area that has living history. It has old houses, an out door kitchen, a cotton mill and a few other things to see. There were a few people in the country clothing doing things that they would do in the olden days. I love living history and seeing how things were done. It helps me appreciate where we are today and how far we have come and what we take for granted. We then decided to take a walk on one of the walking trails and appreciate the great outdoors and all that God has created. We couldn't of ask for a more beautiful day. The original person that built this house built it for his family which had nine children. It had one room down stairs and a loft upstairs.


Abigail got to help one of the ladys push some kind of cane (kinda like surgar cane, but surgar cane doesn't grow this far north) There is a bowl in the bottom where all the juice was coming out. She then took it to the out door kitchen to cook. She said it would take about 4 to 5 hours to make a syrup.
Like any good farm it had chickens. Another visitor picked it up so the kids could pet her.
Aren't they just beautiful!

You can't tell in this picture, but they were high off the ground sitting on this log.
On the path they have markers along they way so you don't get lost. Abigail made sure that she pointed out every one she saw!!! We were not going to get lost with her guiding our way!!!
Zackery had a great time. He is such an adventurer
