Shelburne Museum!

 During my last week in Vermont, we spent the afternoon at the Shelburne Museum as guests of my cousin Debbie.
 What a great time we had with Debbie, John, and their children Annie & Andrew and grandchildren Jacob, Olivia and Ethan.




 For those of you reading this who have no idea what the Shelburne Museum is, it's sort of like Vermont's answer to Disney - but strictly historical. 





 Here's Olivia:  she is Léna's 3rd cousin, and they were born just days apart.  I think they look alike!


 The Ticonderoga!







 In the schoolhouse!



 Estelle & Jacob playing tag!






One of our best days in America!  Thanks to Debbie & her family for the great outing and wonderful lunch beforehand!
