Old Borges Ranch

Today was my day to lead the tiger scouts meeting so I arranged a "Go and See It" at Old Borges Ranch.  Ranger Dan did most of the work and all the boys had a great time!  
The kids learned about the chores 7 and 8 year old boys would  do in the early 1900s

They pumped water from an underground well (Water really came out!)

They sawed wood for the fire

Fed the livestock ~ goats, chickens and sheep

Ranger Dan told us kids had about 3 hours of chores before and after school each day!

They rode horses

This was "girls work" ~ ringing the dinner bell ~ and cooking, growing veggies and sewing clothes

HIGHLY recommend visiting this place!  If you're into hiking, there are also many trails here, too!
