Ba’s birthday trip to Genesee Country Village & Museum

| Stacy

It seemed like a good idea in October.  We gave Ba a card letting her know we were going to take her to GCV&M for their “Preparing for the Holidays” winter event.

It was MAYBE 33 degrees…

And doesn’t everyone want to see pigs dunked and butchered for their birthday?

She was a good sport.  (Actually, she had a lot of fun.)

And we went to Cracker Barrel afterwards for a big meal.  (After stopping first at a town restaurant that literally closed when they saw us walk up, and then trying a little bar/deli/Italian place that served meals on those wimpy paper plates.)  We piled into and out of the car so many times we REALLY worked up an appetite!

Oh, snow

While the bigger girls have been enjoying the snow a great deal, Johanna is far less enthusiastic. 
It took about 7 minutes to get her ready to go out.  She was back inside about 10 minutes later.

The return on investment is hardly worth the effort. 
And I know I could technically insist on her staying outside.  But I wouldn’t do that.  See… I always hated being told to go outside.  I pretty much never liked being outside.  I still only like it if there is eating or socializing involved.  And even then I’m not wild about the whole thing.  Unless I am on a beach, or at an amusement park.  And I’d never do either of those in the snow.
