The Farmers Museum

On our second day in Cooperstown, NY we visited the Farmers Museum. It was recreated to how they would have lived in 1845. We really enjoyed learing about what life was like back then.



Some cool tools from 1845...

They were trying to teach the chickens to eat from humans. So, I got a shot of Natty feeding the chickens. She was the only one they would eat from. She really does have a way with animals. I hope she does something with animals when she grows up. :)

This post sure reminded me of my childhood. I used to love going to the old museums like this when I lived back east. What a cute pic of Natty and Dylan in the classroom. Man, they have beautiful eyes! Great pictures!

Craftiness & a Holiday Headstart

These are on their way to some friends for whom I am very grateful to have in my life. :) I got this as a gift from Sweet Mellie who was my Secret Santa last year but didn't have enough time to make it so I made it today. Isn't it CUTE!? I plan on filling the draws with little treats for the kiddos to enjoy each day leading up to and including Christmas Day. Should be FUN. I noticed that I put holly berries in the middle of my flowers instead of regular old brads but it's too late now. Them suckers are glue dotted on. :O I think I got my Christmas card photo!!!!!! What do you think?

Color of the Week - Orange

This year our annual pumpkin picking trip took us to Barton Orchards up in Pauquag. It's a bit of a drive but they make picking an event. Hayrides, corn maze, petting zoo, farmer's market and even apples...tons of apples. We picked a couple of pumkins and a bag of apples. It was a gorgeous day. But I think the best part for the kiddos was this slide they built into a mountain. It was underground and pretty long. I was able to get some cool shots of them coming out of it. Neat, huh? A sea of pumpkins. How's that for an orange photo? Dylan and his pick. :) Natty and her pick. :)
