It's been a busy week! Christmas Carol has been really consuming a lot of my time. I spent Sat.-Wed. there this week. On Saturday I had costuming, on Sunday the girls had dance rehersals and then Mon.-Wed. we had blocking. I was supposed to go Thursday as well but I celebrated my grandma's birthday with her.

      Today we went to the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, MI. It was a field trip I wasn't so sure about and the price we a little high I thought even though it was an educational discount. TURNS OUT I WAS SO WRONG! This place is awesome and worth WAY MORE than we paid. I spent 6 hours in the museum with my children ages 2-14 and they ALL had a blast!

      The museum has way more than cars as you would expect from Henry Ford. There were huge exhibits on the different decades, furniture of all eras, carriages, GIGANTIC trains, bicycles, 100's cars, a 1940's house of the future that was never manufactured but that you could completely tour, dollhouses, gun exhibits, Full size airplanes including a whole Wright Brother's display that included a replica of their first flight and more. History displays included our fight for Independence, Slavery, Civil War, Abraham Lincoln's actual chair he was assassinated in, Women's Sufferage movement, Civil Rights Movement and Rosa Parks actual bus that you can get into!!! They even had JFK's fateful convertable car on display that he was shot in.

      What really struck me is how they had so many things that were the real thing, and not just replicas. It was awesome and now the kids all want to go back to Greenfield Village, which looks AMAZING! We hope to get a family membership this year for Christmas.
