Old Sturbridge Village

On Friday I took the kids to Sturbridge to visit the historical village museum there. It was a LONG but very fun day. The kids told me that their favorite part was riding the "horse bus" (a horse drawn wagon) and getting ice cream. Great, I didn't need to drive an hour to buy ice cream! But maybe it was enjoying ice cream in such a neat, historical setting that they really liked. We tried our best to see everything but just couldn't. I think with small kids, it really does take more than one day. The place is HUGE and there is so much to learn and do. It was a beautiful day and I hope the two of them came away with a sense of what life was like for early Americans... or maybe they just had fun running around, trying everything they could get their hands on, and driving their mom crazy!
