I grew up living really close the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. We ALWAYS went there for school field trips and I ALWAYS got rock candy when it was time to leave ALWAYS. Now that we all have a billion kids my mom and sister have a membership there. They take us whenever we come into town. I LOVE IT! I know we went a ton as a kid but I definitely did not appreciate all the history that is there. Some of it is really amazing. Brett has even made a few comments of Hey why isn't this in the Smithsonian? I mean the weinermobile is a part of history. Hahaha I don't blame him, but hey a perk for us that don't live so close to D.C. So for this visit we went to the Henry Ford museum, this is the one you go to when it's cold outside. They were having a big display of The Wizard of OZ. It was all in one area and it was a lot of fun. Here are a few pictures of our time that day!
Jacob is riding the witch's bike. The harder he pedals the faster the white cone spins and you can see the mean lady turn into the witch.
There was a fun rope climbing wall too!
Giselle just ran and ran and ran...ALL over the place. She LOVED it!
Jolie, Genna and Jillian outside dorothy's house!
Giselle riding the cow, she loved the farm area. Sorting all the crops.
Now we are into a different area of the museum and this is an old sleigh horses would pull. Doesn't that look fun?
The BEST area according to Jacob. TRAINS!!! a really big one too. Pulling all the levers.
Engineer Jacob!
Nex to the big trains was model trains. Another LOVE of Jacob and Giselle. He loves to watch them..and would stay and watch them for hours if he could. He has really great sisters that like to see him happy.
Giselle really liked watching the choo choo's too!
Mommy with 2 cuties!
Then next to the model trains was a play area of trains...now we are talking. This is where we spent the rest of the time.
Audrey got to be with us...her brothers were in school still so it was just her with the big girls and Jacob of course!
Genevieve and one of her creations. A really nice perk of having a membership is that you can go for an hour or two or even three and not feel bad for leaving. If we lived there we would so have a membership. Thanks Grandma and Kristi for taking us!
