You're a good Dad to take your kids out for an adventure like this. They're right at the age where they're going to retain a fare amount of what they see.

We have some old barns and houses in the UK that are made from "cob" which is a mix of mud and chopped straw, some of them are over 500 years old.

That white glass jar you found is made of what people call Milk Glass. It was very popular in the 40s and 50s and usually had lotions and sorts inside.

Your kids are adorable! They added a lot to the video. Reminded me of when my kids were young. Thanks for the Dad tour!! Enjoyed it!!

Wonderful video. A lot of fun watching the little ones explore the old barn and play at the reservoir. Really shows how a wonderful dad you are. 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏

Found the barn on Google earth, was born in Syracuse 1949, havn't been back since

Silus, your kids are absolutely adorable ❤! You're a great dad! I loved this!

The Adventure Team on the loose! Kids are having a blast. PS - Iceland has turf farms.

I remember stacking hay and straw in the hayloft up to the top rafters. That was in the 60s when I was a kid.

I am a fellow Kansan as well I miss Kansas I live in amarillo texas now.

I use to fish that lake when i was a kid it sure has lost some water

Fancy toys and "stuff " will be forgotten but days like this will be remembered for ever. My kids are in their thirties and they remember the trips to the woods on the family farm and to the reservoirs in our area in the winter time with the water down.

Thanks for sharing some family time! It's very personal, and really very precious. Your kids are precious, only little once, and SO cute then. They grow up so fast on you. That looked like a old milk glass cold cream jar. Like a Pacquin's or Pond's jar, some people collect milk glass. Take care!

Most important part of life, Time spent with our children!!! God Bless you brother

Looks like a lot of states need rain. 😞

Silas, thanks for showing us your family and the wonders of rural Kansas!

Thanks for the look at typical Kansas landscape of the non-developed nature. 🤠🦋

This is the second time you have shown this barn but this video is more in depth.... Thanks for comming back with a updaye on it...

Silas, have you posted something about this barn before? If not ive seen it elsewhere on KZfaq. It was amazing to see it again. Great hanging out and seeing the kids having a great time being kids ❤ Charlie 🇬🇧

Great seeing your kids enjoying themselves in nature and not video games or mindless TV.

Kiddos are golden this is wat its about cheers silas & family 😊

You have a great family

You are a hero among most. I wish i had you as a dad. Keep on being you Silas✌️

Your kids are incredible.. you my friend are a lucky man.

Looks like the kids had a great time so funny when you had to tell the little chap not to throw the mud on his sister and brother 😂😂

Thanks Silas for taken-us on an adventure with ur Kids touring the country side. Nice and Quite..

Great video, since i have vived on the west coast, the Kansas prarie is a totally different look, Thumbs up on bringing us along on your family adventures

That white jar is what my mother call a cold cream jar. There were many different brands. That were sold in the forties through the seventies.

HECK Yes treasure hunt please , With your whole family the kids love it which means they learn and have great memories of those trips. thanks for taking us along with you Silas

Its so great to see you all spending some quality time together with your adorable children. In years to come they will be able to look back on videos like this and re-live the great times they had with you.

Silas great video nice to see you out the kids, really enjoyed the barn haven't seen one like that in years, nice to see where they got the bricks from

Nice adventure thank you

Look out for them pokey cactus! You’re so funny. What a fun time with your kids!

Thanks from an Aussie, that was cool. Good on you for doing that with the kids.

Neat Ol'Barn!!!

Watch pretty neat. I guess the old granny and me was concerned about snakes and that tall grass. Used take my kids out exploring when they were much smaller. My wife is watching and she was saying how cute your kids are especially your smallest boy. So I'm saying you hit this out of the park thanks for sharing.

Thank you Silas for a little bit of Kansas history , the adobe barn was really neat and the reservoir is not what I would have expected . Your children seemed to have a great time , good to take them out and get a little education on the side . God Bless you and yours , Stuart in Canada ..

Unfortunately, the world's full of people who would vandalize others people's things, but if their stuff got vandalized. That's different. Sad world we're living in. You're doing a great job, you and your wife raising three kids. Nice children, too. Cool video. Neat barn.

I'm pretty sure that's a dairy barn, used for milking, I seem to remember you being there once before

You: Adventures made from scrap Little ones: Adventures made from imagination. Alligators? Oh my!

Pretty interesting

Thank you for sharing this amazing video with us. It made me think of special days i got to spend with my dad.

Very cool barn

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎

Thanks for sharing. If I lived near you. I would volunteer at your yard.

ohhhhhh yeah

* Silas you've gotten so good at making the vids ! Loved the opening music. You got some nice well mannered kids. You and the wife are good parents. Nice old barn. Yes people can be such as*holes ! No respect for anything. And it's just getting worse. Yes Crappy love the stumps. The lake I grew up on had a flooded bay we called stumpy cove. They damned our lake in like 1907 raising it's level flooding that mashy area. They dynamited the cedars to enlarge the lake resulting in all the stumps. Great Crappy and Bass fishing and no speed boats to chase the fish off . 👊😎👍

🔴🔴 The big grooves in the floor is the poop trouth the wood slats that are angled the cow would stick there head threw the wood slats and eat well being milked. The poop trouths had a small round hole to push the wast outside this was mostly used in the winter to minimize the cold coming in well cleaning out the wast.

Great find! Thank You for taking us along 😊

Great times with your kids

It sucks here in Michigan they will not even let you repurpose barnwood because of the lead in the paint

Wassup

I saw Lake Mead last year, and was finding formerly sunken boats! Sad seeing it so low.

What a great video! Really fun watching you and with the kids.

Excelente aventura

very cool ..teaching kids... history

My Dad used to take us kids to places like this. I'll never forget it, your kids won't either.

by the dried up lake good for finding rings and coins I'm sure.

wow

U rock a damb good dad. A day with your kids. Time away from work u rock famile comes first. God bless u and your famile keep being u😮😅❤😂🎉

amazing it is still standing

Watch out, children grow up to fast 😢 making memories 😊

Hey Silas you ever check out the Big Well in Greensburg Kansas. I thought it was awesome, when I was stationed in Wichita.

The Kids are growing like weeds, Good on You for taking time with Your Family.

The little jar looks like maybe Ponds cold cream.

Fun DAY Dad

Cool

That was a great adventure 😂😂😂😅

That building is holding up better than new construction homes & condos

Cool!

I’m quite sure I have seen somebody else at this barn and the grass was y low Was that you Silas 😂😂

Better check for ticks !!!

Yes that was cool

Silas, do you know if there were homes at one time where the lake is now? That old bottle made me wonder.

They are 3 lucky Kids mate to have a grate dad like you . Cheers from Australia . 👍🤩🤠

Model probably for a clean cream maybe from the 50s

❤❤❤

Very neat barn and unusual for Kansas. There many adobe buildings where I live in the SW. Any ticks found on the kids later?

it my be a cold cfeam jar, couldn't tell if it had threads or not no thread the older

Looks like it could of been a set for Gunsmoke, still looking for Festus & Matt Dillon haha

Jar looks like an old PONDS cold cream 1950's jar.

Nice hat

Your a great daddy silas

Cute kids. Must take after mom! LOL

Maybe your milk glass jar held "Pond's Cold Cream" ?

Nice ocean front property in Kansas.

80 years ago !! Older than you daddy !

They should landmark it & keep it restored & upkeep....maybe put era pieces of glass back into the windows reclaimed from old barns ,& houses before they get demolished, would be cool if contractors would donate the materials instead of sending it to a landfill or selling it

Lil girl is funny about alligators....lol

Back in those days a lot of people would work for a great home cooked meal

You should take up metal detecting as you go to places that are not touched.
