We had a busy weekend- or at least a weekend filled with lots of fun family outings. Friday evening we started the weekend off right with a trip to the church's annual fair.
Rummage sale, a few rides (bumper cars and the big slide), some games and the cake walk where I won a cake!!! The boys and Uncle Chris raced down the slide- Uncle Chris was the clear winner.
Saturday we went to a local library garage and bake sale then headed out to a local museum where we enjoyed free admission and a civil was reenactment- then we headed back to the fair for lunch. Both boys got to shoot the rifle, but wouldn't you know it- the camera battery died right as it was Sully's turn!
Since the weather finally turned cool we were able to comfortably don jeans and long sleeves. We slept in today- a rarity around here, but with the fall feel coming through the windows, it was just too easy not to be early risers today. After lunch we headed out to Ft. Christmas to see the "new" buildings they've opened. I think they've actually been open for about a year but it's been a while since we've been out there.
The schoolhouse really neat. And it was interesting to find out that it was open until 1969!
The other building was a home built in the 1950's- some of it was very like Grandma K's up in NY. I also noticed similarities to my own grandparents' home. Check out that knotty pine!
Look at the ice bucket in the lower left corner... anyone recognize it? We have one just like it that we found at an estate sale several years ago.
We're closing the weekend with dinner in the family room, a fire (yes a fire) in the fireplace while watching Charlie Chaplin. Kevin found the Collector's Edition 10 volume VHS set at the library sale and then bought a VCR at the church rummage sale so we could watch them.
