During a beautiful Saturday in late April we paid a long-overdue visit to Morristown, NJ, to see Breanna and Brian. But despite the city's charming historical district and bevy of hip restaurants, we knew the kids would need more action. So we included a trip to Fosterfields Living Historical Farm, which is a turn of the century farm where visitors can experience, according to the website, 'not just a re-enactment but a true working farm where baby animals are born in the spring, honey comes from beehives and activities like wagon rides, quilting and open-hearth cooking can be experienced firsthand.'
Pictures of downtown Morristown can most likely be found via a google search. So here are non-google-able photos of some cute kids at Fosterfields.

Cute post and I don't think I knew you made this trip. For a real blast with laundry long ago you should show E&H a hand cranked wringer.
