Greenfield Village has always been one my favorite places. I always wanted to get married at the Martha Mary Chapel (it was too small, and it would have to be candle-lit--- me in a puffy dress and candles sounded like a very bad idea.) So we took the family for a little visit yesterday (Erin's second-- the first was to see Thomas the train in May.) If you have not been in a while, you will be amazed at how much activity there is-- there were suffragettes marching, all the cars and bicycles and horses were out, there were musicians and singers out (Erin loved this), games you could play, and docents giving demonstrations and talks in most of the buildings. Erin still loves the Roundhouse, where Thoams's friends are getting fixed.
Suffragettes marching And Erin & Daddy giving a puppet show...
The singers (Erin sat and watched 5 or 6 songs), playing with the grace rings (very fun, tough I kinda suck at it), and the gazebo where Erin performed for us, and inside the McGuffy schoolhouse...
And some of my favorites, in the Cotswold Cottage gardens...
That last one we call "froggy face"-- she tried to make it her pouty face, but we laughed so hard, now she cracks up too!
And the cute story for today....we were in the McGuffy schoolhouse and I was explaining that a long time ago, when you went to school, you would have to sit on these benches and listen to the teacher, and Erin says "and watch TV!" I tried to explain that there would not have been any TV back then, and she just kept saying "no, they would sit and watch TV!". Ah, kids.
