These were my field trip peeps. Seems Leeli takes after her mother, needing to be in control of the camera during most of our visit to
the village. After trying to move a group of eight high schoolers through the crowded streets of NYC, this was a walk in the park. Except with third graders. Who don't seem to walk at a very leisurely pace most of the time.
In a cash-poor society, learning about going to market and the role of banks was interesting. I'm sure that even though most people today are probably relatively cash-poor, they don't have the same concept of debit and credit as they did in the 1830s. We would all do well to learn a few lessons from the past.
It was a good trip.

Great pictures. Glad you all had such a fun time. I haven't been there in years.
You are such a rockstar mom! I'll bet your kids love having you along on their adventures.
How fun. I always seem to go in the winter when it is freezing. It looked like a beautiful day.
