Troop 84: Henry Ford Field Trip (04.29.2006)

The family went on a trip with Anita's troop on Saturday. We had a great afternoon with the other parents and Brownies visiting the other areas of Greenfield Village that we missed when we went last October. It was a beautiful sunny day. One of those days in Michigan where it warmed up from the 40s to the 60s.


Troop 84 (minus one) in front of the water fountain in the main courtyard.


Anita smiling at the old ram. Michael asked if he was real at first since he was standing so still. She fed him some hay and allowed the girls to touch his forehead.


Minnie is a "cool dude" as he likes to say.


Michael took this photo of the open doors at the roundhouse. This is where the trains at Greenfield Village are housed and fixed. It's an impressively large brick building, and they allow you to view above and below the trains.


Here is the view from the inside of the roundhouse looking outside. We were on the second floor. The orange train in the background has the word, "Plymouth," on it.


Anita, Samantha, Andrea, Minnie & our guide push the orange Plymouth train around the circular track. The train is balanced precisely in the middle which allows the kids to easily move it around using the metal handle.


Anita and this fine old gentleman sang, "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" while the troop was waiting their turn to get on the 1913 carousel.


Minnie is having a good time on the carousel.


Anita looking very photogenic (as usual)! Must be nice! :O)
