The Henry Ford

My entire childhood, we took field trips to the Henry Ford Museum. Apparently, that title was too long, so now they've renamed it The Henry Ford. As in, the Henry Ford what? Anyway, since my parents have a pass, this summer we frequented Greenfield Village (for those not from MI, GV & HFM are both the same thing, just one is outside & one is inside). I thought that since they enjoyed the Villiage so much, that they would like the Museum. We took the morning and went there. Once again, the place was empty. If you're following my blog, this makes 2 popular places that were ghost towns when we visited (the other being Chuck E Cheese). 

Anyway, the morning went well. We took Luke with us. The kids had fun. However, for some odd reason, Ryan was into karate. Keep in mind, he has never seen karate before. Ever. The kid was doing karate chops and taking lunges every where. I've no idea where he got this from. Apparently, this is his latest phase. 

Oh, I forgot. If you've never been to The Henry Ford, it's a museum of the history of stuff. Pretty impressive, huh. :) I have no idea how to descirbe it. It has various trains, planes, and obviously cars, hence the name Ford. There's also a section dedicated to household improvements over the centuries. We were looking at the kitches through the ages and Lauren kept asking where their microwave was. Yep. it's pathetic. However, it's pretty hands-on. The kids got to put real parts on a real Model T. These poor folks that work there. Throughout the day, they assemble a real Model T in the museum, letting kids put it all together. However, that means that every night, it has to be taken apart. What a life. 

Anyway, here are pictures from the adventures.
