Another Day ... Another Trip to Old Sturbridge Village!

Almost every trip is different when we go to "The Village". But the one thing that remains the same is the horse-drawn "bus ride", as the boys like to call it.


The boys trying there hand in the Cooper Shop.



A trip up to the Freeman Farm always greets us with happy animals, and almost always a new colt, heffer or lamb has been recently born.
This cute lil' heffer is about 3 weeks old.


M, making friends w/ the sheep.


Uhhh... like father, like son.


Jonah tries his hand at a 19th Century baseball game. Interestingly enough, back then they used a soft ball & ran the bases "backwards", counter clockwise starting to the left, and would often shout encouragement to the players in form of a loud & hearty, "Huzzah!!"


And this was a fun past-time game of sorts ... filling a paper balloon with hot air from the small fireplace below & letting it go, watching it sour above. Very cool.
