Greenfield Village

Today, we visited Greenfield Village, which is a part of the Henry Ford Museum. It is a historical museum, with people dressed in early 1900's time period clothing. We had a perfect day, not to hot or cold. Everyone was super nice and included Taylor as much as possible. She learned how to shape tin (and got a fun souvenir) and worked an old printing press. The place was beautiful, and decorated for the Fourth. They also had 'old time' games to play all on the big lawn (I'm sure there is a name for it). We played the game of graces, which was very popular in the early 1900's. Each player is given two long pointy sticks and a hoop to pass to one another. Kevin of course became the master at it, although boys didn't typically play (it was for girls to learn how to be more graceful). There was also stilts, puppet shows, and the hula hoop game that you play with a stick. We also got to ride a Model T around town! If you look close enough you can see a guy riding a bike.
