Littleton Historical Museum with Grandkids

Today is Delwyn's Friday off and he wanted to take Dagny and Lincoln to the Littleton Historical Museum. It was a beautiful fall day, nice and sunny, but not too hot.



Dagny knows the farm animals and the sounds they make. She was really interested in the cows and kept saying, "Moo, moo cow."

The pigs were next. This big pig will make some tasty ham and bacon!

I think the chickens are Dagny's favorite! Because we have chickens at home, they were one of the first animals she learned and she calls them "bock bocks".

A fun rocking horse to ride on!

There a little gazebo by a pond where ducks and geese swim around. We sat down to rest and take a few pictures. Lucky Grandpa! Both of the kids are looking and smiling at the same time--that doesn't happen very often.

Dagny was busy running around, and Lincoln and I just sat in the shade and watched her.

There were a lot of crunchy leaves! They were fun to stomp in and she also had fun throwing some up in the air.

Every time we come, we are lucky that the donkey walks right over to the fence to see us. He is so friendly and lets us pet him (and pull his ears).

There was a cat running around the farm. We saw her earlier, but couldn't get close enough to pet her. Delwyn managed to catch her so Dagny could see her close up. She was so soft!

One thing I love about this farm is they work it just like they did many, many years ago. People dress like they did back then and do all the work with old machinery. These ladies were peeling and cutting apples to make apple butter and apple pie filling.

There is an old shed with buckboards and wagons.  Dagny thought a ride might be fun.

This big sheep wanted to sniff Dagny. She thought it was funny and laughed and laughed. He looks like he needs a shearing job. They do that on a certain day--it would be fun to watch.

There is a big pumpkin patch and kids are allowed to choose pumpkins to take home on several Saturdays leading up to the end of October.  We were too late for that and most of the pumpkins that were left were rejects that no body wanted.

Dagny still thought it was fun to push them around and look at them.

She found one that made a perfect chair!

There was a cute place to take photos, but the kids were getting tired. We didn't go to any of the buildings, we just wanted to show Dagny and Lincoln all the animals. Being grandparents is sure fun!
