Our library friend Magunn and her mother Laurie alerted us to this free festival in Weatherford. They've taken their family there yearly for a long time, and told me all about it. It's called the Shaw-Kemp Open House, and it's absolutely free!
This lady was playing on a washtub. Stacy and Baby Marijn posing next to her.

Apparently the Kemp family has owned the property for nearly 200 years. They have kept everything in working order and moved several historical buildings to the site. Not only that, but they have fields and fields of bluebonnets. We got to go in and out of all the buildings, including the residence. There was a free hayride and lots of folks in costume. We had a blast and spent ZERO money!
I highly recommend this to anyone; the family does it once a year.
Here's some photos from our time:
One of the buildings was an old schoolhouse. Claire and Paul both took turns writing on slates.
This lady and her dog, Tinkerbell, were both dressed as Minnie Pearl.
They had a real jailhouse. We tried to leave the kids there, but apparently it wasn't that real.
