Frilands Museet- Part Two

I'm finally back for the second (and final) installment of pictures from the Frilands Museet. The weather has been beautiful this week and we've been very busy running around town doing this and that. On Tuesday Ruby got to spend the whole day with Carter--big fun! In the morning we had Moms'n'Tots and then in the afternoon I had my Book Club meeting so Claire kept Ruby for me. I had brought a casserole over for Claire to stick in the oven, so we all got to eat dinner together too. THEN, I went through all of Claire's maternity clothes to see which ones would work for me (I'm a bit bigger than her!). It was SO nice of her to lend them to me and I sure will appreciate it once my belly starts growing!

Yesterday, we were able to have a newlywed couple over for dinner that just moved to Denmark a few weeks ago. We really had a great time and enjoyed the luxury of being able to play games without listening for crying babies (well, Ruby was here of course, but fast asleep!)! It's hard to believe how fast the time has gone-- here we are married 4 years with a beautiful daughter and another little bean on the way. Time really does move faster the older you get, doesn't it?

Well, enough waxing philosophical... let's move on to the pictures!

The museum offers these horse-drawn carriage rides throughout the grounds. This is probably a pretty nice way to see the park, especially if you aren't up for a lot of walking. The only down-side is sitting behind those stinky horses! Ruby did enjoy watching them go by as you can (sort of) see in this picture. She kept up her "neighing" as long as the horses were in view.

Here is an old farm house from 1773. We didn't go in, but were impressed with how nice it looks after over 200 years!

This workshop is Jared's "dream shop" with every plane and chisel he could ever want. This carpentry shop was part of a family business that was in existance up until the 1980s and included a sawmill.

This amazing barn/house combination has the tallest thatched roof I have ever seen! It was even more impressive from the inside.

This house was used as a lace-making school. The most interesting part to me was the glass balls which they used to intensify the candle light that they worked by. With the short days throughout the winter months, this really had to be difficult work. I think I would have gone blind before I was 30 (of course I'm nearly blind now!)...

This last picture is of Jared and Ruby looking at the sawmill (well, at least Daddy's looking at the sawmill!).

According to the weather forecast we've only got another 2 or 3 days without rain before the deluge starts again, so I guess we better go out and enjoy it! Today, we have slated a trip to Tivoli--hurray! Hope you all have a wonderful day wherever you are!
