Greenfield Village with the Cousins

Logan and I went to Greenfield Village today with my brother Scott, his wife Amy and their boys, Zachery (4) and Caleb (2). We had a lot of fun! Greenfield Village is such a nice place to go and walk around or ride around as we did today. We rode a Model T from 1914, a bus from 1937, the carousel and the train.

Zachery just loves trains. He is very into Thomas the Train. He has quite a number of trains that he collects. He loves to line them all up and play with them. It was such a treat to see him on the BIG train today. I think that this picture is just so precious of him on the train looking out.

Caleb is also a lot of fun. He is quite a busy little boy though. He is our Bam-Bam! We let the kids run around in an open field and he and Logan were running and hugging each other and then Caleb pulled that back of Logan's shirt then pushed him down. Of course, Logan was fine but Amy was quick to let Caleb know that this action was not acceptable. She told Caleb to tell Logan that he was sorry. So Caleb did as he was told and said sorry to Logan then started laughing hysterically. It was pretty funny to watch! Here is a picture of Caleb and Logan on the train while we were stopped.

The pictures below of are all of us on the carousel. We rode the carousel with a group of school kids who must have been on a field trip. It was quite interesting being a part of that group. The Greenfield Village worker ran down a list of rules for riding before they started the ride. Once the ride started it was quite evident that the kids where not following the rules. Amy and I were laughing because we knew one day that would be our boys with their school acting the same way! Oh, the joy of raising boys!!! : )

This last picture is my favorite. We were looking at the horses and one of them came right up to us. The kids went nuts. They were so excited to see the horse up close.

Well, we had a very fun but tiring day. As you can tell by this last picture. Logan was already asleep by the time we made the 15 minute drive home!

So, I hope that you enjoyed the many pictures of our day at Greenfield Village. It truly is a fun place to visit. If you haven't been and are in the area, I encourage you to go!
