"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Henry Ford Museum!

Today we went to "the Henry Ford", meaning Greenfield Village, etc.

Since it was raining, we went to Henry Ford Museum first.
We looked a different rock stars' cars, the chair our past president A. Lincoln was assassinated in, and many other artifacts.
We saw the Rosa Parks Bus, and there even was a place where you could go into an antique car and get your picture taken. It was fun!
We even saw something called a "Goldenrod", which is a rocket car that went over 400 miles per hour! The "Goldenrod" (at 409 mph) has the record for something on wheels.

In the afternoon we went to Greenfield Village. Thankfully, it had stopped raining. Alison rode the merry-go-round, and I took some pictures.
We took part of a class that happened in a school where Henry Ford went to.
The class "happened" in 1871.
We also saw a play on the music composer G. Gershwin.
We went to the gift store and I got a biography on the Wright Brothers. It is very good, but in-depth. Grandpa bought me some postcards.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see everything. But good news! We're going again tomorrow!!! YEA!! Tomorrow shouldn't be raining.

I just hope I can sleep though tonight!!
More later,
