Old Sturbridge

It was a kind of murky, misty Saturday and we couldn't decide if we should go to Old Sturbridge or not.  Everyone waffled and we finally decided to give it a go.  So glad we did.  The kids had an incredible time in this old colonial village and to tell you the truth, the adults did too!
 We have to admit we all had a little too much fun with these pictures!


 Throughout the grounds were different colonial era games everyone could play!



 The kids were a bit mystified by the multi seater outhouse.  Brandon apparently knew exactly what to do.

 Declan got really good at the hoops.  Terefech gave up and used it as a hula hoop!
 The working shops were sooo interesting.  And showed the kids how things are actually or were actually made.  

 The working saw mill by far was my favorite!
 The kids were fascinated with how the water powered the saw mill and the cotton mill.


We finished our day with a visit to the Publick House in Sturbridge where Brandon and Suzanna were married.  We missed the event...Declan was born just a few days later.  Fun to see where it all started!!!
