Today we went with 5 other families (18 kids) to Dutch village.  The kids enjoy the barn area but really love the chicken coop and holding the chickens.  They also like the rides and all the Dutch shoes, music, and shops. After the trip we had 3 girls over for a sleepover. They jumped on the trampoline, made their own pizzas for dinner, and spent some time reading in the evening.  It was a full day and they went to bed quickly once the lights were out.
