A trip to Pioneer Village

This weekend was a beautiful one and we didn't want to waste it hanging around inside the house.  So we called up our friends and headed out for the Doors Open day.  Doors Open offers free admission and sometimes behind the scenes entrance to different places around town.

On Saturday we visited Fanshawe Pioneer Village, it is very accessible and lots of fun for the kids to explore.  I used it as a photo opportunity and had some fun in the sunshine taking random photos. 

I love all the old buildings, the weathered wood is so beautiful and rustic.  The kids loved checking out all the old machinery and school houses.

 

 

There was a wedding going on in the chapel of the village and they were brought to and from the church by horse and carriage.  It definitely added to the feeling of being in pioneer times.

 

All the kids had fun playing the old school games, Sophie thought the ring toss was great.

 

 

Just a few more weeks and everything will be ablaze in oranges, plums and reds.  It was a wonderful beginning to the fall colours that are on the way.  I hope we have many more days of this warm, beautiful autumn weather to come.
