The car thermostat read 10 degrees. Upon arrival at OSV it said 9. Hmmm..maybe we should reconsider this brilliant absolutely stupid idea of ours.
Sadly, when we went to present our membership card, the woman behind the counter told us that they were not harvesting ice today (the whole reason we braved the bitter temperatures in the first place) due to the Army Corps of Engineers flooding the river (or something like that) earlier in the week. Bummer.
Emma absolutely loves sheep.
The first time she ever saw one, and consequently fell in love with them was here at Old Sturbridge Village.

These girls really should live in a small country town.
Emma's first time going downhill on a sled.
Grace however, wanted nothing to do with it.
Horse drawn sleigh in the distance.
The girls love the playspace at OSV and we thought it would be a great way to warm up after being in the village for awhile.
We've been home for a bit now and I think we may finally have warmed up!
For as amazingly cold as it was, it was nice to spend some time outside together enjoying the beauty and peace of the village.
Hopefully, you found something much warmer (and just as fun) to do today, dear friends.
Have a wonderful rest of the day, and as always we'll see you tomorrow.
Hi Dear Family ~~~ I'm glad that your enjoyment of the village and eachother kept you "warmish" on this frigid day....We all did the best we could just staying inside and getting little things done(very little)followed by an "early bird" dinner :)Have a lovely & COZY evening and sleeep well ~~~ Love to All ~~~
ReplyDeleteWe briefly thought about going, but we all decided to go back in spring. We spend a few days there every year, it's a wonderful place!They have homeschool days there every season, I will forward the next one to you, I believe it's in feb....
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, We would love the scoop on the next homeschool day! That would be fabulous, especially if you and your crew are going to be there and we could meet up. If not, we'll be sure to catch you at one later on in the better weather! I did wonder if we would run into you today but then quickly thought that it may have been too cold out to warrant a trip to MA on a day such as this!
ReplyDeleteHi Mom, Glad to know that you guys had a wonderful, cozy day at home! Grace did ask if you, Daddy and Grant would be showing up today. Ever since we met there for the 4th of July I think she thinks that you three should be there every time we go!
Stay warm, girls!
