By on September 11, 2011 in Birthday Planning, Educational, Exercise, Fall, Play Outdoor, Spring, Summer

They had mini-golf, [...]

Imagine stepping back in time where there are no cell phones, cars, television, or drive-thrus. Now imagine pumping your drinking water, keeping a root cellar because you grow and make your own food, and living with no air conditioning in the humid heat of July in Ohio.
