Washington on the Brazos and Tiny Horses





Well, we attempted to go to the St. Clair Monastry between Brenham and Navasota. It was closed. We had a very upset little horse lover on our hands. Grandma is taking her back on Thursday to see them. We then went and had a picnic lunch at the park. Grandma took them to the visitor center for a gift. Christian got a flying bat, Ethan an armadillo and Kara a horse of course. We then decided to go see the Brazos River. The trail was much longer and hotter than expected. Kara said we went on a long journey at the end of it. Grandma and I were dying!! Grandma then took us to the Barrington Farm which is in the park too. The workers were dressed like pioneers and they actually run the farm. We saw two day old piglets. They were cute! The kids washed clothes on a washboard and hung them to dry. They did other chores like bringing in firewood and shelling peas too. They also got to go to the crops and pick peas to shell. We had a wonderful time!!
