Memorial Day

we spent Memorial Day at Old Sturbridge Village in Mass. I was looking forward to walking around the village. The last 2 times I went was for the home school day and we spent most of the time in classes (plus it was rather cold to walk around to much) We got to see the potter making mugs, the tin smith making candle snuffers, the militia firing muskets and Sage got to participate in an 1830's game of baseball. Back then they used the handle of an ax, and ran the bases to the left instead of the right. It was a nice day to hang out in the village. They also had games around the common that the kids played back then. Sage liked the stilts a lot and Ryan liked the hoop and stick. We also ran into my good friend Kim there with her family.
