Los Golodrinas

The Saturday prior to B's 27th birthday, we went to a living history museum in Santa Fe.  It is enclosed within a functioning ranch - El Rancho de Las Golodrinas - The Ranch of the Swallows.
We saw a sheep getting sheared!  The whole coat comes off in one piece - who knew?
We got to sit in an 1890s classroom...
We ground our own corn meal...
And then turned them into tortillas...

SM started off awake...


But ended up asleep...
Too bad...she missed the corn husk doll activity...
We had a great time and we even saw a nest of newly born swallows - how appropo.
