Down the Long Hills

Down the Long Hills is a made for TV movie that was on ABC. It tells the story of two young little kids who have to continue on their trail West after their wagons and campgrounds are attacked.

Mostly I thought the movie was sad. The little girl doesn't realize most of the movie that her mom was killed. I was excited when I realized the boy was the same boy from Honey, I shrunk the Kids though! 

America's Heart and Soul

We had the opportunity to watch this fantastic documentary called America's Heart and Soul. It was so interesting and eye-opening. 

The documentary shows the lives of different people in different situations living all across the United States. It is amazing to see how other people live in your own country. The lives of the people in the documentary seemed so different from my own, yet we all had something in common - living in the United States. It was really cool and definitely educational. 

I just happened to be traveling that weekend to Connecticut for a bridal shower so I took the boys with me and we explored Hartford and some places outside Hartford, including this pretty pond we walked around. CT is only a couple of states away but it seemed like a different world!
