We spent the morning in Archbold, Ohio today visiting Sauder Village and checking out farm life as it was a century ago. I think I was in junior high the last time I visited this place. The day was gorgeous and we happily wandered around watching the period-dressed folks spinning wool into yarn, pressing apple juice, drying fruit, woodworking, milking cows & collecting chicken eggs, etc.
Our little map-reader and tour guide directed us from place to place.
Grandma Verna uses this very thing for making homemade applesauce. In fact, Sophie and her preschool friends just did this with Grandma at school in preparation for their Thanksgiving feast in a little over a month. They peeled, cut, cooked and pressed the apples into sauce, to be frozen until feast day!

A straw maze was set up inside one of the barns. Both kids LOVED it.
Craig trying out the various methods of cabinet making on display.
We washed hands in the restroom and Sophie got the biggest kick out of this unusual hand dryer. We packed lunch for this trip and ate in the car before heading home.
