On Saturday we went to Old Sturbridge Village to attend the ice harvest that was taking place. While the girls and I have been to one before Dave never has and has always wanted to. For the last several years this event at Old Sturbridge Village has been canceled for one reason or another. This year we were excited to see that it was a go. We set off, cautiously optimistic that it would in fact still be taking place when we arrived.
Emma gives it a try.
And so does Grace.
"Mama, that was really fun! And easy!"
Doesn't he look like a pro?
And of course after cutting ice this lead to a discussion about how things were kept cold before refrigerators came to be. It was a lovely day full of teachable moments and amazing family time. Truly a perfect way to spend a beautiful winter day!
What such fun! Didn't know they did things like this, very cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was really neat! I bet there is an ice harvesting event somewhere near you!
