Summer Trip to Greenfield Village

In anticipation of leaving Michigan, we visited Greenfield Village very frequently this summer. Isaac and Stella have dipped enough bees-wax candles to light our dinner table for months and they have enough experience to do it on their own now. They are both sure that we need to find some beeswax and start dipping at home. Here's a short clip of visiting with Francesca.

Candle dipping

Today Isaac and Stella dipped candles at Greenfield Village. I think they were both surprised at how long it took to make 2 candles! It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed our morning excursion.

We watched the fireworks at Greenfield Village while the Detroit Symphony Orchestra played.

While waiting for the sun to go down, everyone enjoyed watching the historic baseball players, bicyclists and the fife and drum corps march by.

We loaded up the double stroller with kids and the single stroller with our picnic supplies.
