A Weekend of Fun

We had a really fun weekend. Despite only being packed for 1 day but deciding to stay 3...the weekend at home was great! We stayed with my brother and sister-in-law. On Friday we went to a car show that my brother's racecar was in. Saturday Melissa, (my sister-in-law) Kate and I went shopping. (since I was only packed for 1 day we needed a few things) Then Kate stayed with Dustin and his parents while I went to the races with my dad, Justin and Melissa. It was fun!


Sunday we went to Meadowcroft village. An excerpt from the website describes it like this: Take a trip back in time with Meadowcroft's carefully recreated 19th century village celebrating rural life. Visitors can experience how our ancestors lived by stirring apple butter, dipping candles and celebrating an old-fashioned Indepedence Day in July. During your visit, stop by the one-room schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, church, covered bridge, or one of two log houses. Then travel back to the dawn of prehistoric people in North America with a visit to the Meadowcroft Rockshelter. They weren't churning butter or dipping candles when we were there but we still had a good time.

Here's Melissa throwing the spear (i can't remember what it was really called) the blacksmith, Melissa and I sporting the latest fashions of the day, the one room schoolhouse, the barber shop and the covered bridge; known as the kissing bridge.

The boys had to wear this bonnet if they were bad in school.
