Summer Fun

The summer is flying by! Here are some pictures from our recent outing to Greenfield Village. We had a fun day visiting the working farm, the old houses and the roundhouse, of course! The kids especially enjoyed riding the carousel. And the boys were even able to play some old-time baseball.

3. Favorite outdoor activity....swinging

4. Favorite sleeping position....on my stomach, with my head on a pillow, of course!

5. Favorite piece of clothing....my snuggly sleeper

8. Favorite time of day....morning

9. Favorite toy.....tupperware
