Amy from the Museum met us at the Library and we started our walk downtown. She showed us pictures of the old stores that used to be downtown and we tried to recognize some of those buildings today. While we were downtown we even saw Santa! At the Museum we saw old toys that boys and girls got as gifts in the olden days. We even got to play with a couple of old toys (there was an old, tin cat that you wound up with a key...it was cool). We made a Christmas Card from old magazine pictures.
Special thanks to Mrs. Zulu, Mrs. Chateauvert and Mrs. De Vries.
