Living the Simple Life

No..I am not talking about Paris Hilton and Nichole Richie...I am talking about the 1800s!
While my mom was here, we visited Old Salem and had a great time! I was really surprised at how much fun I and the kids had. While we were their I started to realize how "simple" their life was and how crazy mine seems to be. While I do enjoy technology ( blogging, running water, electricity) I do think i would really enjoy some of the practices of the past. Where is the balance? Well I will not belabor my point...but I am determined to bring a little of the "simple" back to our lives! Here are some pics from our day!

here is charlie talking to one of the ladies

Charlie had the most fun playing in the barn.



Here are Mary Alice, Charlie and Mom on the streets.



Here is a picture of the kids taking a rest from all the walking..




And lastly here are some pics of the kids and G-Ma. We miss you G-Ma. We had such a great time...and cannot wait to see you in November!

I'm so glad that all of you could have fun in Old Salem--what a special place to go with G-Ma... and a fun way to learn history.
