Leonard's Mills

Took the kids to Leonard's Mills yesterday which is a small late colonial village with volunteers who dress up in period wear. The weather was perfect for the first time in over a month and I didn't want to sit at home doing nothing. I invited Wendy along and off we went. I completely forgot to get cash from the ATM so thankfully Wendy had cash with her or we would have had to leave and come back. We headed down in and the first thing you come to is a covered bridge.

Once you head through the bridge, everything opens up into a field and the buildings. Cooper got to see people cooking beans and biscuits over a large fire, a team of small oxen, a blacksmith working, a woman spinning wool into yarn, some men splittin logs into long shingles, horse drawn wagon rides, a man working a deer hide, and of course got to throw a tomahawk at a log target. We took a ride on the wagon which was kind of nice but pretty short. Regardless, we had a good time and got to spend the day outside instead of stuck inside playing Candyland and watching Transformers again.

Thanks to BangorMoms.net for posting about this or I wouldn't have known to go.
