Greenfield Village

Even though it's been spring for over a month now, Michigan apparently didn't get that memo- or maybe it was a text message? Either way, we've had a mostly dreary/chilly spring with a few sun shiny days to keep us going ( Think donkey and carrot). Mike, Mack and I took advantage of one of those days on Friday and snuck away to Greenfield Village (in short, it's a historic village so it's like walking through a page in history). Here are a few pictures of our day:

After slathering on some sunscreen, Mackenzie was ready to go! She even wore her sunglasses for more than half a second!

It was really neat to watch her. She'd never really seen real life animals, just pictures in books. Even still, she was able to match the sound to the real life animal. She could be heard all over the petting zoo imitating the animals as she saw them!
Mike in the hay barn:
All of that walking around made us hungry! We stopped to have our picnic snack. Mackenzie had a few geese hanging around her stroller, waiting to gobble up a yogurt melt if it came their way:


The horse like Mackenzie more than she liked it.

Mackenzie had a lot of fun! She took in all the sights one could hope to at such an interesting place ( you know, trees, benches, a strangers ice cream) and said "HI!" to every one who looked her way. Once we made it back to the car, she was out for the count.
The weather was so nice that when we got home, we called Jeanette and Ben for a play date at the park! Here she is scopin' out the park:
We hope to spend many more sunshine-filled days at Greenfield Village!

How much fun! Brock wasn't to sure about animals being that close either.
I can't wait to take the boys to the zoo. Brock's been twice and loves it and I think Malachi will have a blast. We are gonna go soon. Linda bought a season pass for us so as long as we pack a lunch and stay out of the gift shop we can go anytime. If the weather is nice when you are here we could take you guys!

We do the same thing- buy the membership and pack a lunch! Pretty cheap day all in all...
