it was a bit of a grey day, so we almost didn't make it out to old sturbridge village this morning. but chanda had brought her special dress to wear that korrina made for her last halloween and i knew she would be terribly disappointed if we didn't go . . so off we went . . and weren't we surprised to find out that it was free day! the place was packed with people! it's usually so quiet . . ay yi yi . . . it was mobbed . . but i'm still glad we made it there . . and of course everyone thought m and c worked there. we had a nice day playing tug of war, watching a shadow puppet play in the old barn, walking through the freeman farm, and viewing a special sampler exhibit.
the samplers were amazing! they recorded birth dates, marriage dates, death dates. the one above is from the late 1700s. i loved imagining the families behind all the stitches . .
