Visit with the Carrier's
















Well Cathy and Anne Carrier came down to visit us here in Fishers and we had a great time reconnecting. Anna and Anne got along very very very well and Anna had tears in her eyes when they said goodbye tonight. We went to the Haunted House last night at the Children's Museum. (Anne lost her first tooth on an apple that Lori sent with her). We went through the haunted house twice....even though the kids will tell you that they WERE NOT scared, they screamed and squealed the whole time. I had to push them to keep going....they were not done with one round as I stated they HAD to do it again....what a great time. It was a memorable visit and we were very very happy and really enjoyed the visit. We are hoping to travel to Wisconsin Dells this spring to the GREAT Wolfe Lodge to repay the visit. They are great people!!!!

The best part of the visit to Connor Prairie was the role playing that the actors do for the living museum. The year was 1836 and it was just like it was back then. Amazing to see the progress that we have with today's society. I asked about a daughter becoming a carpenter or educating them and they asked "why would you want to educate a girl?" The Inn cost 12.5 cents for 1/3 of the bed. To have a gun made it was 12-15 dollars. To bed your horse in the stall with hay was 25 cents. It was fun to see.
