Texas Independence Day

This is most of my Texas History class. A couple of days after the official Independence Day, we had our own little celebration with our homeschool group. My students all did a short presentation on some aspect of Texas History. Lynette dressed up as, and reported on, Susanna Dickenson, one of the survivors of the Alamo. The weather was great, and we had a little potluck lunch to go with it.

James was off of school that day, so he came and fired up our little volcano stove and used that and the dutch oven to cook. I even provided a demonstration of the fire danger to the pioneer women who got too close to the fire! Fortunately, the only thing that caught on my dress was some polyester blend lace, so it didn't flare up.
