Our final day of vacation was spent back tracking to Old World Wisconsin since it was closed earlier in the week. We were so glad we went back - we all enjoyed Old World - there was so much to do and see!
The evening before when we arrived at our hotel the Oscar Meyer mobile was parked in the parking lot - the kids thought it looked so funny!
Old World Wisconsin is an settlement based on life in the early 19th century when immigrants came to the America's. This particular Saturday happened to be Laura Ingalls Wilder days and we were able to do lots of extra activities that normally wouldn't be taking place, such as tasting homemade ice cream, churning butter, sewing quilt patches, making twine, etc. I definitely appreciate all my modern day appliances!

School time - Sarah & I loved the school and I even answered the question of which states boarder Wisconsin; unfortunately I didn't answer in a complete sentence, so I got the teacher's glare which Sarah thought was so funny!
Recess time!
