Fun Free Friday this week was to the American Textile History Museum in Lowell MA. Mama and the children learned a lot but really we only scratched the surface of knowledge in the world of textiles.
We all had a turn trying to lift 500 lbs of cotton.

| Adriana loved this car and the air bags. Why? I don't know. |
