On Sunday we went to Old Sturbridge Village. It's so beautiful there this time of year with all the leaves changing colors. We decided to ditch the stroller and let Lily run around and lead the way for whole day. It was really fun (and tiring) letting her have control of what we did for the day!
We started our visit in the visitors center. They have a fun little play area for kids there.
Once we got out to the village, Lily lead the way to one of the old time games laid out for visiters to try. It was a game with hoops and sticks. Your are suppose to use the sticks to throw and catch the hoop...but Lily thought it was a better idea to use the hoop as a hula hoop! She got so upset when we had to take it away from her for we could move on!
We moved on to check out one of the gardens. Right now the village is harvesting all their root vegetables. We found out from one of the costumed workers that they feed off of the vegetables from the farm all year long. They store the vegetables in the cellar storage, and cook them into a vegetable boil most days during th winter. We found this huge carrot funny!
After wondering around for awhile, Lily stopped to look at the saw mill. For some reason she though it was so funny, and started yelling and laughing at it! Here she is giving the mill an earful:
Taking a closer look:
Next it we followed Lily over t the waterfalls. She was really enoying bing in control of where we went!
She had fun watching the sheep, and of course people watching too (her favorite thing to do I think!)
After watching the animals for a bit, we took a break from walking around, and let Lily play in a bunch of leaves. She really had fun digging down to the ground and picking through the leaves!
Back in the main area, Daddy showed Lily how to pump for water:
And one last picture of the giant leaf and Lily being silly:
