They love the Goodwin House where they can play various old-fashioned games: croquet, graces, and the hoop/stick. Sometimes it's the simple, old-fashioned things that are the most charming.

Illustration Friday - Old-Fashioned
There is a fantastic historic site in Portsmouth, NH called Strawbery Banke. It's a unique outdoor history museum: it presents the life in a New England port city over four centuries. You experience the home life, entertainment, chores, work and play of the various time periods with the help of historic interpreters and role players. It's wonderful. In fact, it's one of our most favorite day trips (our girls included!).

Great movement. I love the tongue. I can never seem to get that expression quite right. Kudos.
Sounds like a fascinating place to visit! Neat that the kids can play with old toys. The illustration works well to show that. Nice job!
I agree with Jennifer, the movement is a very nice part of this piece. The character is very cute! Very enjoyable!
Wonderful character and look at that expression!!
Great illustration, love the hoop and stick, great stuff.
Really lovely. Great capture of action and attitude. I like the use of limited palette.
very nice Michele, love this
oh this is wonderful the movement and the tongue is perfect ♥
sweet. nice to see kids having good old-fashioned fun instead of being hooked up to a video game :)
she's adorable. great expression...love the face.
Oh, that's delightful! You've captured that running pose so wonderfully! I remember going to a "living history" site as a school field trip once. I remember they named me Tilly. And oh, those games were so fun! :D
A lovely drawing, full of life..
I agree, Michelle! The simple old-fashioned games are the best. You captured that joy here!
