Heritage Village

Russ is friends with a guy named Aaron who is an international student at SMU and had never been to downtown Dallas. So on Saturday we took him through the city and a bit south to a place called Heritage Village. It's a historical village with buildings from Dallas or near-Dallas that were originally built and used in the 1800s. They have some characters who dress the part and answer questions. It was really neat! (The teacher in me couldn't help but think about what a fun and educational field trip destination this would be!) Garrett enjoyed getting to walk/run around all morning but he was pooped by the time we left and fell asleep about 30 seconds after we started driving away. Fun times!

Russ, Aaron and Garrett in front of the old farmstead

In the schoolhouse I could have taught in had I been born a hundred years earlier

Garrett isn't quite ready for school yet--but he looks so cute!

Potty training has begun...old school style. Ha!

Cooling off in the fountain

Garrett was so not impressed by the donkey smell
