Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of this week was the annual MCC Heritage Festival. My parents and the kids and I went on Thursday. Here are some pictures of our visit.

| The kids and I all ready to go |
 |
| I thought this picture of my dad surveying the "graveyard" was cool |
 |
| My mom became the hat lady as she was wearing the kids' hats that they didn't want to wear anymore! |
 |
| Everyone (minus me) on an old firetruck |
 |
| washing clothes the "old fashioned" way |
 |
| Andy really liked the hand pumps |
 |
| Merry go round |
 |
| Another washing machine |
 |
| I liked this travel trunk |
 |
| Steam engine |
 |
| on the train |
I changed a few pictures to Sepia tone to be more in tune with the era:
And of course I had to take pictures of the spinning wheels I found!
 |
| A great or walking wheel in bad shape! |
 |
| Close up of the spindle - not sharp enough to prick your finger now! |
 |
| A traditional wheel, also in bad repair with a very small wheel Andy kept pointing at the spinning wheel and saying, "Mommy" |
 |
| a skein winder |
Looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see everyone in their period correct costumes, and I like that shot of Dad by the graveyard, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some neat pictures. Glad you took some we seem to forget to do pictures though I carried our camera the whole time.
ReplyDeleteAww, I wish I had known about that, it looks like it would have been fun. :(

Sorry Rachel Becky invited us to go with her & the kids (Dan was sleeping) We didn't think you'd want to go since it was Thur during the time frame Jason would be working.
