Last Saturday we visited Log Cabin Village. Caden had never been before and it had been a while since I went. When we arrived, he was excited to get to play in the woods. There were lots of big trees around and the perfect place for an active boy to run around and see how life used to be. He enjoyed trying various machines, like the spinning wheel and an old coffee grinder. He had a blast!
