Halloween in Greenfield Village
So we have started the Halloween season out already with a little trip to Greenfield Village last night. For those of you who don't know what Greenfield Village is, it is a historic town that is part of the Henry Ford Museum near Detroit. They have old style homes and neighborhoods (from Thomas Edison and such), old Model-T car's driving around, etc... During halloween they set up a trick or treat path that winds through the village and lets you see everything they have decorated. All along the way the path is light by Jack O' Lanterns with candles in them, and there are people dressed up in famous costumes, and also scary ones too. They give out candy to the kids and adults as you pass them on the road and make it all quite a fun adventure. Most of the people that attend are also dressed up and it was fun to see so many costumes. The weather was perfect and not too cold even when the sun went down.
Here are a few photos....
Special thanks to Anna's mom who helped make the poodle skirts. Jayda has been soooooo excited this week to finally get to wear her special poodle skirt!

Hey, that was so fun! Thanks for inviting us. Cool hair, Todd. And I love the poodle skirts -- they look even better in person.
WOWEE!! I am soooooooo impressed! You guys look so good. I can't believe you made the poodle skirts. They are great. You and your girls look so good in them. Way to go!
I also have to say that I loved that you sewed sleeves on the sleep sac. What a clever trick! Brie has slept with a sleep sac ever since she was an infant. I love the things. That was so funny to see.
How fun!! Your costumes are fabulous. I loved hearing all about it.
Love the poodle skirts and Todd's slicked back hair! Looks like you guys had alot of fun with the Petersons.
That sounds so fun. I never heard about that when we were there. We went to a Halloween pumpkin walk through a nature trail with lighted jack-o-lanterns. The girls loved it. I loved it because we went with a family that has older girls and the 10-year-old took Emma with her and the 12-year-old went off with Jane. The girls felt like belles of the ball. I think we've found a babysitter!!!
Hey Anna and Todd,
