Visit to the Henry Ford Museum

We decided to go to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village with Grandma and Grandpa and we had a great time. We spent the whole day there and luckily we went on a day that it wasn't raining. Here are a bunch of pictures to sum up our day:

In an old Model T Ford, doesn't it look like the car in the old version of the movie "Cheaper by the Dozen"?

Abbie and Leah got a kick out of this human hotdog display/toy. There were so many things geared towards kids, more than I remember when we first came here 5 1/2 years ago.

Me brushing up on my teaching skills in an old 1950's classroom. Abbie loved sitting in the desk and playing school.

Taking a walk down memory lane

.

Grandma learning how to spin wool which she never got to do in Nauvoo while on a mission working in the Family Living Center.

Going on the carousel in Greenfield Village, Abbie was terrified at first but at the end finally warmed up to it and wanted to go again.

Grandpa had a good time also on his dark stallion!

Leah has no fear and was happy to be doing anything out of the stroller

.

We got her a candy necklace to keep her happy for a while and she loved that, it made quite the chalky mess though!

The coal-fueled steam train that goes around the village. It was too hard to pass up a free* ride to the other side of the village after tons of walking. *We were prepared to pay the $4 per adult fee (kids free) after being exhausted from walking all day but the conductor let us go for free after seeing our two kids, double stroller, disabled husband, and pregnant wife! Thank goodness!

The kids had fun taking a ride on the train but I couldn't get any good pictures except this view out the side.

The train station roundtable, the girls had more fun throwing rocks here than anything else.
Finally leaving at closing time down a beautiful path of blossoming trees. I'm so glad spring is finally here!

My tired babies at the end of a long, but great, day!
