So it may be beyond cold out but did that stop us from heading to Old Sturbridge Village to see the Fire and Ice event today? Heck, no! We are after all, hearty New Englanders. Hearty intelligent New Englanders who know well enough to dress in lots of layers!
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.
David and Emma watch the skaters on the pond.
Rendering lard to make soap.
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.
