August 2013 More Michigan Fun

Evan and Grandpa Williams


Evan and Grandma Williams




There is a great indoor play area near Jesse and Maya's house. It is called Play. They have amazing toys. Mostly wooden and all very educational. We have loved going there the past two summers.



Mimi always jumps right in to play







Where is Mimi?

We also took a trip to Greenfield Village. It is such a fun park with so many things to explore. Here is the description of the park from the website... it describes it better than I could. ;)
"Entering Greenfield Village is like stepping into an 80-acre time machine. It takes you back to the sights, sounds and sensations of America’s past. There are 83 authentic, historic structures, from Noah Webster’s home, where he wrote the first American dictionary, to Thomas Edison’s Menlo Park laboratory, to the courthouse where Abraham Lincoln practiced law. The buildings and the things to see are only the beginning. There’s the fun stuff, too. In Greenfield Village, you can ride in a genuine Model T or “pull” glass with world-class artisans; you can watch 1867 baseball or ride a train with a 19th-century steam engine. It’s a place where you can choose your lunch from an 1850s menu or spend a quiet moment pondering the home and workshop where the Wright brothers invented the airplane. Greenfield Village is a celebration of people — people whose unbridled optimism came to define modern-day America."

We loved the train ride and horse drawn carriage ride. Our favorite was the carousel ride. The carousel was built in 1913!!! It is gorgeous!










She loves to make new friends.




100 Year old carousel!












The carvings are so ornate and beautiful!

This was the car Violet and Jimmy rode in. I love the colors on it.
