A Few More Pictures

I couldn't resist posting a few more pictures of the boys at Upper Canada Village. These were taken by one of the chaperones.

Devin at the blacksmith shop. They both made a lovely wrought iron candle holder (oh, I should post a picture of that too...another day)



Brent at school.


Devin and his friend Zac at the tinsmith, where they each made a wall sconce. What a great experience for them. They still keep coming up with stories.


And just a neat shot of them walking down the road at the end of the day.

On the Cover of Rolling Stone (well, almost)

Look what came in our mailbox!!!! and that of all the other fine residents of North Dundas Township!
Omoe and Opa took the children to a pumpkin decorating day at the Farmer's Market in Chesterville last fall and this photo was taken. It appeared in the local paper a few weeks later, and with no announcement, ended up as the cover to the fall activities directory just recently. Imagine the excitement when they came in with the mail that day!!!!
Please call ahead for autograph sessions.

Back in Time

The boys had the privilege of joining a group that spent forty-eight hours at Upper Canada Village. They dressed in period costume, ate period food, did barn chores, went to school and apprenticed at the tinsmith and blacksmith. Needless to say, they had a BLAST!! Here are a few shots my mom took as she followed them around the village one day.

Devin is finishing up on his slate, while Brent and their friend Zach wait for their recitation time.
Here they are learning a dance for the full moon festival. I think Brent is more pleased with his partner than Devin ;-)
