A couple weeks ago we celebrated the Monavale Homestead's 100th Anniversary. The old house that we use as study rooms and guest rooms has had 11 owners since it was built in 1910 so it's been a part of a lot of people's lives. Capernwray has had the building since 1995. The celebration was a week long thing, mostly with past owner family members and people in Cambridge. The biggest part of it was on Saturday when we had an open day for anyone who wanted to attend could come out. Elizabeth Thomas, our principal's wife, was set on all the students being in period costumes and getting everything organized. It was a ton of fun!
Here is the front of the Monavale Homestead.
Here is a picture of the different booths that we had out on the main lawn. Different people and businesses occupied the booths and sold various things. Once booth even had some alpacas.
Here is the barbershop quartet (ok, quintet) that Mitch (far left) put together. They sang a couple songs every other hour, even "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". I had that song stuck in my head for about a week after listening to them practice all the time.
Here's Leah and I in our fun outfits. Leah has become one of my closest friends at school, she's from Olando, Florida and lives right next to Disneyland. We have really similar personalities and don't we look cute :)
Not every girl had a fun hat so the group that did definitely had to get some fun photos together after the open day was over.
Here's the whole group. The girls with red aprons were serving in this big tent and the guy's costumes reminded me of the movie "Newsies" I think I've dressed up more at Bible School than years combined back home.
