Field Trip to Log Cabin Village, Fort Worth, TX
What a great field trip! Friendly interpreters in almost every house/building. They were dressed in 19th century clothing and told the kids about each of the buildings. There was a blacksmith and a candlemaker there. My kids got to make candles. The buildings are very well-maintained and they had a house specifically where the interpreter showed the kids toys from the 1800s and how they worked. There's a gift shop at the end with candy, toys, postcards, arrowheads, etc.
Entrance is not free, but it was very worth it. I had a great time (my kids did, too).
The gift shop sold little craft kits and if you scan the QR code on the package, there is a video of one of the interpreters showing you how to put the craft together.

Afterwards, we went to Dream Park in downtown Fort Worth along the Trinity River.
The 6 year-old did not want to leave.

Later that evening, we brought the telescope out into the driveway and looked at Venus, Saturn and Jupiter. Here is a photo we were able to get of Jupiter and its moons. (It looked better in person through the lens). That blue thingie?? I have no idea what that is...UFO? *shrug*
