Henry Ford Museum

Paige's preschool friend, Ethan, invited us to go to the Henry Ford museum with them. Surprisingly enough, my daughter, who has no use for boys, became very chummy with Ethan even calling him her "best friend". I really enjoy his mom and dad as well, so it is a good set up. Paige and I went over with Ethan, his brother, Aiden, and his mom, Helen. We had a fun time.

The Henry Ford museum is really interesting. We didn't go through much of the museum. We saw the locamotives...they had a few full size cars. The have a lot of old autos, furniture, etc. etc. Since the kids don't really enjoy the whole museum thing, we spent the majority of our time at "Greengate Village" which is the outdoor portion of the museum. They had a bunch of kids activities going on and the kids had a lot of fun. There are a bunch of old buildings...school rooms, churches etc. that have been brought from all over the US.

To top off the day, I got totally sunburned on my chest...sunscreened everywhere, but forgot there. I still have the lines to prove it.

The kids played on the locomotive for a while.
Paige loves carousels. We stood in line far too long to get on this one.


Paige and Ethan riding in the kid cars. There was drama (what, with Paige?) over the car she got. She really felt entitled to have a pink one. She kept her eyes on them and the second a kid started to get out, she was there waiting for it.
